A simple routine to start each day with is a shot of wheatgrass or barley grass juice powder, spirulina, chlorella or AFA algae, or a ready-made green mix blended in 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 is a basic recipe that provides a good foundation and works perfectly for combining with other ingredients:
A handful of any fruit
A 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 prefer. Of course, you can also add protein powder or chia seeds if you want a more filling smoothie. Avocado is also a great way to make a more substantial smoothie that tastes creamy and wonderful.
3. Make dressing with algae
Algae is undoubtedly one of the healthiest ingredients you can use to make a really good dressing for your salad. Here is 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 coriander
Salt and pepper to taste
For extra creamy dressing, add:
1 dl water
1/2 avocado or 1 dl hemp seeds
Mix all ingredients in a blender. Pour over your salad and enjoy!
4. Mix your salad
Does it sometimes feel overwhelming when you're about to eat a delicious but enormous salad? Try mixing it into a green dip or salsa. A super good way to consume green leaves in larger quantities without having to chew all afternoon.
Italian salsa
1 bag of arugula
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 of fresh spinach
1 pot of fresh coriander (or about 40g frozen)
1 small red onion or 1 clove of garlic
Juice from half a lemon
1/2 fresh chili pepper of any kind
Herb salt to taste
Mix all ingredients in a food processor. Place in a small bowl and enjoy with any dinner or lunch.
5. Freshly pressed vegetable juice
Don't forget that one of the best sources of vitamins, antioxidants, and chlorophyll is freshly 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 here. If you don't have a juicer, you can mix in a regular blender, which will result in more of a smoothie than juice, but the most important thing is that we consume our vegetables.
