A vibrant and refreshing lemonade made with fresh lemon juice, blue spirulina powder, and mixed berries, offering a healthy and energizing drink perfect for warm days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large fresh lemons, juiced (approximately 1 cup or 240 ml fresh lemon juice)
  • 1 to 1.5 teaspoons blue spirulina powder
  • 1 cup (150 grams) mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), fresh or frozen
  • 4 cups (960 ml) cold water
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (maple syrup for vegan option)
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Fresh mint leaves, optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Roll the lemons on the counter to loosen the juice, then cut in half and juice them using a citrus juicer. Collect about 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Set aside.
  2. If using fresh berries, rinse gently and pat dry. For frozen berries, no need to thaw unless a less icy texture is preferred.
  3. Add the berries, fresh lemon juice, blue spirulina powder (start with 1 teaspoon), honey or agave syrup, and 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water into a blender. Pulse until smooth and vibrant blue.
  4. Pour the blended mixture into a large pitcher. Add the remaining 3 cups (720 ml) of cold water and stir well. Taste and adjust sweetness or spirulina amount if needed.
  5. Add ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  6. Serve immediately. Optionally refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

If spirulina powder clumps, sprinkle it evenly over the liquid in the blender to avoid lumps. Adjust sweetness to taste and add a pinch of sea salt if lemonade is too tart. For a sparkling version, replace half the water with soda water just before serving. Refrigerate leftovers up to 24 hours and stir before serving.
