A simple routine to start each day with is a shot of wheat or barley grass juice powder, spirulina, chlorella or AFA algae, or a ready-made green mix blended with water. When you wake up, you can first drink a glass of water with lemon or lime. Then you can take your "shot".

2. Make Green Smoothies

Making a green smoothie is one of the easiest ways to get extra chlorophyll and energy for breakfast, lunch, or as a snack. Here's a basic recipe that provides a good foundation and works excellently when combined with other ingredients:

  • One handful of any fruit

  • One handful of any berries

  • 2 handfuls of any green leaves

  • Water

Experiment with different combinations until you find your favorites. You can replace green leaves with any chlorophyll-rich supplement if you want. Of course, you can also add ingredients like protein powder or chia seeds if you want a more filling smoothie. Avocado is also a great way to get a more substantial smoothie that also tastes creamy and wonderful.

3. Make Algae Dressing

Algae are undoubtedly one of the healthiest ingredients you can use to make a really good dressing for your salad. Here's a basic recipe that can be varied according to taste.

  • 1 dl olive oil

  • 0.5 dl lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

  • 1-2 tsp chlorella, AFA algae, or spirulina

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 1-2 tbsp fresh or dried herbs such as basil or cilantro

  • Salt and pepper to taste

For extra creamy dressing, add:

  • 1 dl water

  • 1/2 avocado or 1 dl hemp seeds

Blend all ingredients in a blender. Pour over your salad and enjoy!

4. Blend Your Salad

Does it sometimes feel overwhelming when you're about to eat a good but absolutely enormous salad? Try blending it into a green dip or salsa. A great way to get larger amounts of green leaves without having to chew all afternoon.

Italian Salsa

  • 1 bag arugula salad

  • 1 dl walnuts or pine nuts

  • 0.5 dl olive oil

  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Mexican Salsa

  • 2 large tomatoes

  • 1 bag fresh spinach

  • 1 pot fresh cilantro (or about 40g frozen)

  • 1 small red onion or 1 garlic clove

  • Juice from half a lemon

  • 1/2 fresh chili pepper of any variety

  • Herb salt to taste

Blend all ingredients in a food processor. Serve in a small bowl and enjoy with any dinner or lunch.

5. Fresh-Pressed Vegetable Juice

Don't forget that one of the best sources of vitamins, antioxidants, and chlorophyll is fresh-pressed vegetable juice. Try to make your own juices as often as you can. Good juice ingredients include cucumber, celery, spinach, kale, green pea shoots or other sprouts, fennel, and broccoli. Let your imagination flow! You can find effective and good juicers for this purpose. If you don't have a juicer, you can blend in a regular blender - it will be more of a smoothie than juice, but the most important thing is that we get our vegetables.
