Easy Preparation Guide

Getting Your Veggies Ready (10 minutes):
Give all produce a good scrub. Cut off celery ends and toss the leaves. Remove apple cores but keep the peel on. Pull apart and wash lettuce leaves. Dry everything with towels.
Making Your Juice (15 minutes):
Begin with celery to get the most juice. Next add apple chunks. Drop in romaine last. Gather juice in a clean bowl. Run through strainer if you want.
Mixing In Spirulina (5 minutes):
Get your measurement just right. Mix powder into a bit of juice first. Slowly combine with the rest. Keep stirring till smooth.
Enjoying and Keeping (5 minutes):
Serve chilled with ice if you want. Put leftover juice in glass bottles. Close tightly. Pop in fridge right away.

When I first whipped up this juice, I figured out that a tiny drop of lemon juice helps keep the amazing color and taste fresh longer.

Looking Back: This Blue Superfood Juice isn't just something to drink - it's a daily habit that feeds your whole self. The striking color shows how nature gives us everything we need to stay healthy, and the fresh taste makes getting all those benefits totally enjoyable.
