This spirulina guacamole is a delicious healthy guacamole recipe made with avocado, onion, tomato, cilantro, spices and the superfood spirulina. It tastes like a classic guac, but with the health benefits of spirulina.
If you are looking for a way to add spirulina to your diet, guacamole is a great way to start. You won’t be able to taste the spirulina, all you’ll taste is delicious creamy guacamole with chunks of avocado, tomato, cilantro and cumin.
I also love adding spirulina to smoothies. For other spirulina recipes, try my wild blueberry smoothie or my spirulina smoothie recipes.
