My Best Guac Ever


If my guac is a little blue, it's because of spirulina. I add just 1/4 teaspoon to my recipe, for the added nutrition.
A single tablespoon of dried spirulina powder contains 4g protein, Vitamin B1 (thiamine): 11% of the RDA, Vitamin B2 (riboflavin): 15% of the RDA, Vitamin B3 (niacin): 4% of the RDA, Copper: 21% of the RDA, Iron: 11% of the RDA. It also contains decent amounts of magnesium, potassium and manganese and small amounts of almost every other nutrient that you need, per healthline.com.
