I’ve been using spirulina for the last couple months. Although it turns everything (and I mean literally everything!) green, I have found that with other flavours you don’t end up with too weird of a taste. So adding it to oatmeal might be okay if you have flavoured it with other spices (eg. cinnamon). I typically add a couple tablespoons to my instant pot when I cook up lentils/beans, and find the other flavours typically mask it (although it comes out green for sure…).
My bag of it says to just add it to water, but I can’t imagine taking it straight like that… putting it in some strong flavoured juice might work well (but be prepared for it to be green for sure).
i used the frozen little “fresh” blocks of spirulina from SP2 for a while. i think if there is a benefit to it, its a latent one you wont ever see or feel, at least in my experience. i read a lot of stuff online about people having AMAZING results using it… not something i ever noticed.
i would toss a little block in my daily random veggie / fruit smoothie and i couldnt taste it at all, the flavor was masked really well.
I’ve had a different experience than other posters above. I think it tastes horrible. Just a little bit ends up making a large smoothie barely tolerable for me.
I switched from the powder form to the tablet form and that’s much better. I don’t really taste it or smell it at all.
I don’t notice a difference when I do or don’t take it, so I don’t really use it anymore
I’m with you on this. I tried the powder a few years ago and gave up as I couldn’t get past the taste. I think what was worse was the smell - it was bad enough that before I would drink the smoothie the smell gave me the anticipation that it would taste horrible
