New Ingredient!

I love when I find a new ingredient to add to my routine. It gives me a challenge and makes an old stand by smoothie a bit more interesting. Today's smoothie is an old favorite, Banana Split. Just classic. And good!

Banana Split Smoothie for One

1/2 Banana

4 whole strawberries

6 large chunks of pineapple

1 T cocoa powder

1 - 1.5 cups almond milk

1/2 T bee pollen

2 T Hemp hearts

1 T Spirulina

 

Except I added a new ingredient, Spirulina.  I linked more info, but the general run down is that it is a blue green algae. It is has multiple vitamins, including a natural source of iron (I run low on iron but I HATE taking a supplement, this is a good alternative)! It boosts the immune system and is high in protein, yep protein!
I found a powdered form at our local health food store. I am finding it makes a great add in to my smoothies! I can't detect a taste (although it does make the color of the smoothie a bit interesting)!
