What is chlorella
Chlorella is a blue-green algae powder packed with nutrients that can help maximize energy, detox the body, boost the immune system, and fight fatigue.
I know I can always use that, how about you? It also contains all 9 essential amino acids (organic compounds that join together to form proteins), which are the building blocks of life and our cells - making chlorella known as a broken cell wall algae.

Smoothie Add-ins
Feel free to add in even more nutrition. Here are some suggestions:
• Chia seeds
• Flax seeds
• Hemp seeds (or hearts)
• Pea protein
• Bee pollen
Once you have the base ingredients on how to make a smoothie, you can start adding in your own add-ins. This chlorella detox smoothie has 6 ingredients and then you can always add 1 tablespoon of any or each of these add-ins before blending.
You can find chlorella in capsules, tablet, and powder form. I suggest taking the capsules (I use my own brand from our sister website, Delightful Mom Health, which you can find here) every day. Then I suggest opening the capsules and pour out the powder into smoothies on the days you want a delicious greens chlorella detox smoothie. For this recipe I used two chlorella capsules which equals ½ teaspoon.
