I love Spirulina! (giveaway closed)
I’m always going on about spirulina and how much I love it. I take it (or some form of it) every day. I’ll take it in a tablet form or else put the powder in a smoothie, mix it with grapefruit segments, or add it to juice. Ever since I’ve started taking it some months ago I’ve noticed
awesome benefits…and now I’m a lifelong spirulina addict.
In case you don’t know much about spirulina, here are some fabulous facts about it:
- It’s considered to be one of the world’s most powerful superfoods
- It’s ridiculously high in protein – its 60-65% protein (compared to say fish, which is up to 35% protein)
- It’s very high in chlorophyll – which builds healthy blood, promotes better circulation, and helps reduce inflammation – so basically it helps everything…I think of chlorophyll as liquid energy
- Boosts energy
- Heals your body
- Helps you deal with cravings – less cravings for junk food
- Boosts immunity
- Detoxes your body (even helps with weight loss!)
(my favourite brand from Nutrex Hawaii)
Why I like it?
Once I started taking it several months ago, I haven’t had as much as a cold, my immunity is definitely stronger. I’ve noticed an increase in energy. My body is more balanced and even my skin is better (spirulina is nature’s beauty vitamin!). I just feel better.
Plus, call me crazy, but I also just love the colour…the deep, rich aqua shade of green…it makes such a pretty smoothie. I often add spinach to my smoothie too and then they become even greener…what can I say? I like green.
Because I’m obviously obsessed with this superfood, I was talking to the good folks at Nutrex Hawaii the other day where we finalized me becoming their first ambassador! I’m so excited because I’m passionate about spirulina and I’m glad this will allow me to share it more with people.
In fact, that sharing starts right now…in celebration of this fact, one of you will get to win spirulina powder AND spirulina tablets! Yay! ALSO, they are giving my readers a special, HUGE deal if you’re interested in their products – 25% off! Just be sure to use this code for the deal: CP25

Well you convinced me to try Truenutrition, I may have to give this a try! Thanks for the 25% off code. (though I wouldn’t mind winning some to try before I buy, lol). Have you tried the astaxanthin?
From visiting Nutrex’s site I have learned that their company is entirely environmentally friendly, which is something I can get on board with!

I have been meaning to try Spirulina for so long! Considering how highly I regard your opinion, this is JUST the push I need! I had no idea that it was so easy to swallow–must admit that held me back. I was worried it would just taste… yucky!

This is the only brand of spirulina my husband will use. After reading all the benefits, I think I need to get on board too and start taking it. I didn’t realize it was so high in protein!

I can’t enter as I’m in Ireland! But I did just buy Spirulina for the first time in powder form and now I’m putting off trying it for fear that the flavour will put me off! Do you find you have to mask it much? Ever tried it in an instant bake or pancakes?

I subscribed and read about how much protein this packs along with the benefits to the whole body, but helping to prevent Type II diabetes and eye health – it truly is an amazing product.
It’s very high in iron – which is something I need right now during my pregnancy!

Shel (PeachyPalate) – I don’t mind the taste at all, so I don’t try too hard to mask it…but for people who don’t like it they should try the tablets…or else hide it in a smoothie. If you like sushi (the paper), you won’t mind this at all. I have tried it in protein pancakes and I really liked it that way!
I’m already a subscriber! Does that count? :)
i subscribed! :)
i also went to the website and learned that it is vegan/vegetarian, no gmos, and LACTOSE FREE! which is great because i am!! :) ive had spirulina at some smoothie places but i havent bought it for myself, until now hopefully!!

As a lover of sushi, I’m glad to hear you compare the spirulina to the sushi paper (yum!).

From the Nutrex site I learned that spirulina is good for eye health. I’m going to start taking it regularly as I have glaucoma (and will talk to my ophthalmologist about it next time I see him).
I learned that evidence shows that Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica will support cardiovascular, eye and brain health, boost immunity, boost energy levels, support healthy skin and combat age related macular degeneration. All good things!

I am a big fan of spirulina. I feel better when I take it. But I had never heard of Astaxanthin until I perused the site from here. My family really enjoys being outside and the “sunscreen like” factors for your energy are really interesting to me.
its gluten free
I take this in powder form every morning in my lemon water. I did this intially to disquise the taste a bit, but now its just habit so I stick with it. It and chlorella are one of the best supplements to take to clean the blood thus boosting the immune system. No home should go without it.
Ajali – I like the way you take it…I’ll have to try that! Thanks for sharing!
