Chlorella powder: a microalga for your nutrition
Chlorella powder from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement made from chlorella.
Chlorella is a green microalga that’s dehydrated and ground. Its strong point is how easy it is to include in your usual recipes: smoothies, yogurts, bowls, or drinks. If you’re into green ingredients and want a simple way to boost your routine, chlorella is a practical way to add a “green” touch without any hassle.
A simple ingredient, for those who prefer to take care of themselves with habits that stick.
What is chlorella and why is it so popular
A microalga for healthy eating
Chlorella is a microalga that has become popular in the healthy eating world because of its versatile format and how well it fits into all kinds of routines as a dietary supplement. In powder form, it’s especially handy if you like adding it to smoothies.
Powder vs other forms: why powder is preferred
Powder lets you add chlorella to your recipes instead of just taking it in capsules or tablets as a functional form. You can add it to your own recipes to give them a “green” boost: in yogurt, bowls, or smoothies. If you’re all about “mix and go,” this format will be your fave.
What chlorella provides
Chlorella:
- Keeps energy and tone up.
- Boosts vitality.
- Has a beneficial effect on the gallbladder, liver, and kidneys. Promotes detoxification of the body.
- Positively influences blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
- Helps increase the growth of beneficial intestinal microflora.
- Is antioxidant.
Beyond its functions, what really matters is how you use it: when an ingredient is convenient and also brings benefits for your self-care, that’s when it truly fits your routine.
How to use it without getting tired of it
Sweet mixes: the easiest way to start
- Fruit smoothie: banana or mango help soften the vegetal taste.
- Yogurt: with pure cocoa and cinnamon.
- Bowl: with oats or yogurt, fruit, and a topping (like nut butters).
Fresh mixes: when you want something lighter
- Cold water or plant-based drink: better if you add it little by little while mixing.
- Citrus touch: lemon or lime usually work well if you like fresh flavors.
Texture tricks (to avoid clumps)
- Add it “rainfall style” while stirring, instead of dumping it all at once.
- Mix first with a bit of liquid and then add the rest.
- If you use a shaker, shake vigorously and let it rest a few seconds before shaking again.
- Remember that chlorella as a dietary supplement has a recommended daily dose that we advise not to exceed, it’s not a culinary ingredient you can add as much as you want.
