Idli twist
Spirulina-infused idli for a healthy start
Idli, the beloved South Indian breakfast dish, gets a nutritious upgrade with the addition of spirulina powder.
By blending one teaspoon of spirulina powder into the idli batter prior to steaming, you not only infuse a beautiful green color but also fortify the idlis with protein and iron.
This tweak doesn't drastically change the taste but significantly enhances the nutritional content.
Paratha power
Energizing spirulina paratha
Parathas are a staple in Indian households, and their versatility makes them a beloved comfort food.
By adding two teaspoons of spirulina powder to the dough, you can turn your regular parathas into a nutrient-dense meal that will fuel your day.
These spirulina-infused parathas pair well with yogurt or pickle, and offer a balanced blend of carbs, proteins, and healthy fats.
Smoothie innovation
Spirulina smoothie bowl - A quick fix
Want a quick and super healthy breakfast? Make a spirulina smoothie bowl.
Just blend bananas, spinach, one tablespoon of spirulina powder, and milk or almond milk.

Oatmeal upgrade
Oatmeal enhanced with spirulina
Oatmeal is a well-established heart-healthy breakfast option.
