Blue is the new superfood

Those bright blue bowls popping up at smoothie shops may look artificial, but they are far from it. They get their intense colour from Blue Majik, a powdery extract from spirulina (a nutrient-rich algae) that packs B vitamins and antioxidants. “To get an energy boost, add a teaspoon to chia parfaits, smoothies and bowls, and drinks like matcha latte,” says Jessica Young, the head of product nutrition at Daily Harvest, a healthy-meal delivery company. Pair it with bold flavours like ginger and lemon as well as fruit, coconut, and plant milks to mitigate the mild ocean flavour, Jessica suggests. You can buy the blue-green algae powder from https://sg.iherb.com.
