About Spirulina

Spirulina is a powder that is derived from algae. The powder can either be green or blue. Blue and green spirulina are derived from different species of algae. Green spirulina powder comes from chlorophyll and blue spirulina powder comes from phycocyanin. Both blue spirulina and green spirulina are nutrient-dense and offer various vitamins, minerals and is a great source of vegan protein.

What are the Benefits of Blue Spirulina?

Blue spirulina contains a powerful antioxidant pigment called phycocyanin, which is responsible for its distinct blue hue. It offers numerous potential health benefits such as:

  • Phycocyanin has powerful antioxidants that help protect cells against oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. Some studies suggest that blue spirulina can aid in post-workout recovery and reduce exercise induced stress and damage
  • Micronutrients B6 and Vitamin C which helps combat disease and infections.

How to use Spriulina?

Spirulina can be smoothies, smoothie bowls (like this one!), sauces, dressings and other beverages. You an also mix into pancake, waffles or cookies to make them blue!

Blue Majik Smoothie Bowl Ingredients

  • Cauliflower rice – Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable that is high in fiber and B-vitamins. Nutrition experts recommend we eat cruciferous vegetables everyday. Its a great way to increase the nutritional content of your smoothies and thicken them without adding extra sugar.
  • Blue Majik spirulina – There are different kinds of blue spirulina but Blue Majik is a proprietary extract of spirulina from E3 Live.
  • Chia seeds – These little seeds contain all of the omegas (3,6 and 9), protein, healthy fat, fiber and also helps thicken your smoothies and smoothie bowls.
  • Banana – Provides creaminess for the smoothie bowl.
  • Protein powder – To help balance blood sugar make this a complete meal this recipe includes vegan protein powder.
  • Blueberries – Another antioxidant powerhouse which also adds fiber.
  • Kiwis – Kiwis have also been shown to reverse DNA damage to your cells!

How to Make This Blue Smoothie Bowl

Step 1: Soak 1 tablespoon of chia seeks with 3/4 cup of nut milk overnight (or for at least 1 hour)

Step 2: In a high-speed blender, blend together chia seed mixture, frozen cauliflower rice, frozen banana, vanilla protein powder and spirulina.

Step 3: Pour into a bowl and top with kiwi, blueberries, bananas and coconut flakes 

Tip for Making a Smoothie Bowl and Substitutions

  • Keep it thick. At first the mixture may be very thick. Keep adding water 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture blends. You want the mixture to be thick enough to blend and not watery (depending on your blender, this may involve stop/starting the blender and pushing down the mixture). 
  • Add your favorite protein. This recipe would taste great with either vanilla unsweetened protein or an unflavored protein.
  • Vary your toppings. I like kiwis, blueberries, bananas and coconut but you can add granola or other fruits.

Storage

Smoothie bowls are best eaten immediately.

This is where I think so many high-achieving women in midlife get stuck.... We're used to believing that more effort + less calories equals better results. So when our bodies don't respond to that strategy anymore, we double down. But here's what I wish I'd understood sooner: if your whole goal is just to burn calories, you aren't building anything that is gonna support your metabolism in a long-term. If you want to build muscle, you need a plan that challenges your muscles progressively (Ps - that doesn't always mean lifting heavier weights, but we'll get to that in another post.) You need enough food to support that work. And you need recovery so your body can actually adapt. It's not about abandoning cardio or never being in a calorie deficit. It's about understanding how all the pieces work together instead of treating each workout like a transaction for calories in and out. **This is exactly what I help women do through Live Powerfully.** We look at your nutrition, strength training, recovery, and the realities of your schedule to build a personalized health strategy that supports your goals without making wellness another full-time job. Because you've already built a big life. Your health strategy should help you live it. Follow @LivePowerfullyCo for less wellness noise and more of what actually works. **Want to explore 1:1 support?** DM me POWER then we can set up a 1:1 exploratory call.

apparently, being in your 40s comes with a second full-time job: managing your health. Unpaid, of course. It's exhausting just keeping up with all the things we're supposed to be doing. But here is what I wish more women understood: you don't need to optimize every aspect of your health to make meaningful progress. You need to understand which habits will make the biggest difference for your body, your goals and your life. And then find a way to do them consistently. That's a big part of what I do with my coaching clients. We cut through the endless wellness advice, focus on the fundamentals and build a personalized strategy that doesn't require health to become another full-time unpaid job. Because you've already got enough on your plate and we're still trying to remember why we walked into the room. DM me if you're struggling and I can share my personal advice on your situation Follow @livepowerfullyco for less wellness noise and more of what actually works for women 40+ #perimenopause #womenover40 #workingmom #womenshealth #hormonehealth

Preparing nutritious meals doesn't have to be a part-time job. Between work meetings, school pickups and kids' activities, is your lunch whatever you can grab in five minutes? A protein bar. A handful of crackers. Leftovers from your kid's plate. Or maybe you skip it altogether. And then you're wondering why you're exhausted, craving something sweet at 3 PM and starving by dinner. Here's the thing: You can't expect your body to perform at its best when you're consistently under-fueling it. Especially in midlife, when getting enough protein to support muscle and enough fiber for gut and metabolic health becomes increasingly important. But the solution isn't spending your entire Sunday prepping perfectly portioned meals. It's having a few easy, nutrient-dense options you can make once and eat on repeat. You don't need more time. You need fewer decisions. And that's exactly why I love this soup. 👇 Makes 4 servings: 1 small white onion rings(about 1 cup chopped) 1 tbsp olive oil 1 pound of chicken (or sub 12 oz rotisserie chicken and cut out the chicken cooking time) 1 jar salsa verde 4 cups low sodium chicken bone broth (I like Dr. Kelly Ann) 1 can (3.5 cups) low sodium white beans (I like white navy beans), rinsed 1.5 cups frozen brown rice 1/2 cup sliced green onion 1/2 cup cilantro more green onion, cilantro for garnish. Heat a large pot over medium high heat. Add olive oil. Add onion and cook for 3-5 minutes. Add raw chicken to the pot. Pour in salsa verde and bone broth. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. In the meantime chop green onion and cilantro. Once chicken is cooked through, shut off heat. Shred chicken in pot. Add green onion, cilantro and brown rice. Turn back on heat. Cook over medium heat.

A healthier life doesn't happen when you finally have more time. It happens when you start making time for what matters. Here's the shift I want you to make this week: Stop treating your health as something you'll get to when everything else is done. A little intention at the beginning of the week can change how you show up for the rest of it. Not because you need a perfectly organized life, but because you're making the decisions that support your health beforethe week starts making them for you. This is a big part of what I help my coaching clients do. We turn knowing what to do into simple, repeatable systems that make taking care of themselves part of their lives, not another thing competing for their attention. Your health doesn't need to take over your calendar. But it deserves a place on it. I'm a functional nutritionist and health coach helping ambitious women 40+ build strength, energy and lasting health while balancing careers, families and full lives.
