CAN YOU MAKE THIS RECIPE WITHOUT SPIRULINA?
Absolutely! If you can I would recommend using spirulina as it gives a nice festive green color, and you can’t even taste it! However, these Spirulina Chocolate Cookies recipe can be made without spirulina if you want something more simple. You can also use any other green powders (wheatgrass powder, chlorella powder, kale powder…) instead of spirulina.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SPIRULINA?
Spirulina is a type of algae that can be blue or green and grows in the water. It is high in protein, vitamin B1, B2 and B3, copper, iron and other nutrients such as magnesium in smaller quantities. Spirulina is one of the most nutritious-dense food on the planet. The health benefits of consuming spirulina powder include anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, anti-cancer properties, and much more.
