Spirulina is not just a keyword you hear in organic stores. It is an extremely powerful microalgae, which ticks a lot of boxes:

• Ultra high in protein, to support muscle recovery
• Natural boost of iron, B12, antioxidants, and B vitamins, to strengthen the immune system
• Detox effect : it supports the liver, limits deficiencies, and promotes the elimination of heavy metals (hello pollution + oxidative stress)

And combined in a smoothie made with fresh fruit, green vegetables and a hint of lemon?
You get a drink that brightens your eyes faster than a sun at the top of an 8% hill.

🌀 Post-run smoothie version, simple and effective:

• 1 handful of spinach
• 1 pear
• 1 kiwi
• 1 celery stalk
• 2 apples
• 1 tsp spirulina
• 1/2 avocado
• 1/2 organic lemon with skin
• 4-6 ice cubes
• 6-8 fresh mint leaves

💡 No juicer? Replace apples with sugar-free compote and spinach with a version cooked softly in water.

1. We start the machine

Start by juicing fruits and vegetables (except avocados, spirulina, mint and ice cubes). Tip: start and end with an apple to avoid getting stuck.

2. We mix the rest

Pour the juice into a blender. Add spirulina, avocado, mint, and ice. Blend well to obtain a smooth and slightly thick texture.

3. We drink fresh

Pour into a tall glass or training bottle. Drink slowly so as not to end up as if you had just swallowed the Channel.

💥 The “I'm going to do a heavy squat today” version

• 1/2 organic lemon
• 1 orange
• 1/2 cucumber
• 1 cm of ginger or 1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder
• 1/2 zucchini (raw or steamed)
• 1 pear
• 1/2 banana
• 2 tbsp of natural yoghurt
• 1 tsp spirulina
• 6 to 8 nuts
• 1 tbsp rapeseed oil (rich in omega-3)
• 4 to 6 ice cubes

Same principle: centrifugal on one side, blender on the other, and boom, a cocktail rich in proteins, vitamins, omegas and energy.

🧪 Spirulina = micro-dose, maximum effect
1 c.c. is enough. Don't ladle it out: it's still an algae, not a magic potion.

🌿 Mint & lemon for taste
Spirulina may have a slight “Lac du Morvan in August” taste. Mint and lemon mask this cleanly.

🍌 Are you digesting poorly?
Add a little banana or vegetable yogurt to sweeten it all up. And drink it slowly, even if you're in a hurry to put on the sneakers.

Verdict? Whether before a workout or after a long run, this spirulina smoothie is your health ally. It moisturizes, it strengthens, it recharges. And maybe it'll make you like spinach.
