# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The stunning blue color makes it an instant conversation starter at any gathering
  • Perfect for those who want something refreshing without artificial dyes or processed ingredients
02 -
  • Never add blue spirulina directly to the lemonade or it will create stubborn clumps that never dissolve
  • The color intensifies over about 10 minutes, so do not panic if it looks lighter right after mixing
03 -
  • Whisk the spirulina mixture in the same direction consistently for the smoothest texture
  • Double the recipe for crowds because the first batch disappears fast
