Spirulina powder...
Has anyone else used this?? I've recently started and it is so gross!!! But its supposed to have loads of health and weight loss benefits that I just had to (I'll not quit till I've tried it all!!)
If you have used the powder, can you PLEASE tell me what you mixed it with so that it doesnt taste like what I imagine the inside of a dirty fish tank would??

Re: Spirulina powder...
yes i take it daily actually. i'm a freak of nature because i actually like the way it tastes!
i mix it usually with my supplement shake in the am, (cacao flavor) or with juice. get a blender bottle, or throw it in with a smoothie in the blender.
HTH!

Re: Spirulina powder...
I do not like it plain so I mix fresh fruit with it.
I make it with a banana, a splash of vanilla, sprinkle of cinnamon, ice and milk. So delicious!
I also make it with mixed berries, ice and milk. This is also yummy!
Have you tried the flavored one's at all?

Re: Spirulina powder...
I tried it last night with SF cranberry juice and it was a little better.
Tomorrow morning i'll try mixing it in with my protein shake...maybe that will help some.
Thanks ladies!!
BTW...do you have any experience with the tablet form??

What were you mixing it with originally? Water? If so, I would say  . When I make it, I treat it like a protein shake.

Yeah...I did mix it with water the first time. The second was with sugar free iced tea and that was no good either.
ETA- I mixed it with my protein powder and it was the first time I didnt want to gag while and after drinking it. THANKS LADIES!!!!
