Today’s Plantbased, Not Perfect Podcast episode is a Supplement Spotlight on Spirulina. I get a lot of questions on this as to whether spirulina should be added to the Lean Green Smoothie or whether it is important to take for our overall health, so I wanted to break it down today.Â
I share what spirulina is and where it comes from, how it is harvested and its vast nutritional profile. We cover all of its health benefits, as well as its potential negative health effects and the importance of being selective when choosing this supplement. I also share how you can get the same benefits from other whole foods and my personal opinion on taking this supplement.
