If you've scrolled through TikTok lately, you might have noticed the copycat Erewhon smoothies that are going viral. These smoothies look and taste like something you could get from the high-end (and famously high-priced) California grocery store, but are made from the comfort of your own home. Fruit and yogurt are key ingredients in these smoothies, but people have also been adding blue spirulina powder. Made from dried algae, this powerhouse of nutrients is said to boost your energy, immune system and your skin's complexion. Not to mention, celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian and Sabrina Carpenter have hopped on the spirulina trend, too. If you're interested in trying it yourself, we found a highly-rated blue spirulina powder that's just a click away on Amazon. Amazon This organic blue spirulina powder is so versatile and can be used in smoothies, bowls, matcha, lemonade, juice and even baked goods. It serves as a natural food coloring, and it has a long list of purported health benefits, such as improved sleep and lowered blood pressure. It's also said to support immune and brain health while increasing energy levels. This spirulina powder is derived from an authentic Arthrospira platensis extract that's packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It's non-GMO and dairy and soy free, making it perfect for those on a vegan or plant-based diet. With this powder, a little bit goes a long way. It's sold in bags of 60 grams, with each serving being one gram, so you'll get a total of 60 servings in each bag. Amazon reviewers love how versatile this powder is, using it in their salads, smoothies and more. 'Love adding this superfood to my smoothies and bowls for extra nutrients,' says one reviewer. 'It's flavorless, so we even add it to our sourdough for fun coloring!' Some users even say they've started noticing health benefits after just a few weeks of use. 'One month of use, and I am sleeping 6-8 hours overnight for the first time in five years. Very pleased!!!' says another reviewer. 'This spirulina seems to be doing great things for me. Experimented with it over salad and sprinkled over shrimp and steak and other things, but the best is in my morning smoothie. Six weeks of use and the improvements continue.' If all of these potential health benefits sound like something you need in your life, add this best-selling powder to your Amazon cart. You'll be on your way to recreating Erewhon's coconut cloud smoothie and Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet smoothie in no time!
