Spirulina isn't just pretty to look at, it's hella good for you, too! For those unfamiliar, spirulina is a blue-green microalgae [1] that's loaded with nutrients and considered the superfood of the sea. What sets the healthy ingredient apart from other superfoods is that it contains some hard-to-find nutrients that aren't in your average fruit, including niacin, potassium, iron, vitamin B12, magnesium, and calcium, which boost your immune system, regulate digestion, reduce inflammation [2], and press the chill-out button on PMS.
Spirulina is typically sold in powder form [3] and often added to shakes, smoothies, and even DIY [4] beauty recipes. To demonstrate just how Insta-worthy it is, we've rounded up some of the prettiest — and yummiest sounding — spirulina bowls we could find!
