Ingredients

Blue Water:
10 Spirulina Tablets
500ml of water

Blue Juice

Blue Water
250 ml coconut kefir, coconut water or plain water
1 T Camu Camu Berry Powder
2 T Coconut Blossom Nectar Light
1 handful fresh mint leaves

Method

Step 1:

Drop spirulina tablets into the 500ml water and allow it to stand overnight – the green pigments will sink to the bottom and the blue pigments will stay suspended, making the water a beautiful, bright azure colour.
Note: sometimes the red pigment is more dominant depending on the water to spirulina ratio and the angle you look at it. The blue juice pictured here is a good example of this.

Step 2:

Slowly pour off the blue water to use in this recipe. Keep the green water to blend into your smoothie.

Step 3:

Add your blue water to the coconut kefir (or alternatives).

Step 4:

Stir in the camu camu berry powder and coconut blossom nectar

Step 5:

Add the fresh mint leaves – they will float on the surface and slowly infuse the water with a subtle minty taste.

Step 6:

Leave in the fridge to chill or add ice blocks and serve.
