Grinchy Kefir Smoothie

Spirulina is optional in this smoothie, but it has many benefits. It's considered a superfood and is a potent source of nutrients. Spirulina contains a powerful plant-based protein called phycocyanin. Research has shown this may have antioxidant, pain-relief, anti-inflammatory, and brain-protective properties. Spinach and cranberries are also powerful foods and you can't taste the spinach which is a great thing to add to any smoothie. The overall taste is a creamy sweet smoothie that is perfect for boosting your immune system and changing your gut flora for the better.
