Just because the holiday season is here doesn’t mean your health goals should be tossed aside with all those boxes, bows and wrapping paper. Try these delicious and nutritious treats that put a creative spin on traditional peanut butter cups. For all of you steering clear of chemical-laden food dyes, blue spirulina is a natural and non-toxic food coloring, too!
Blue Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that boasts strong antioxidant effects. Studies have shown that it may reduce inflammation and promotes healthy aging. Its main active component is called phycocyanin, the antioxidant that gives spirulina its beautiful blue-green color. Double Wood’s blue spirulina is standardized to 35% phycocyanin, with each serving providing over 350 mg of phycocyanin. That’s the Double Wood difference.
