Organic Chlorella Powder: What It Is and How to Use It
Chlorella is a vivid green microalga that has become a popular ingredient for smoothies and juices. This guide explains what Cutetonic® Organic Chlorella Powder is, how it is processed and the easiest ways to use it in the kitchen.
What is chlorella?
Chlorella is a single-celled microalga and one of the oldest living organisms on Earth. In powder form it has a deep, vibrant green colour, which it passes on to anything you mix it with.
How the powder is made
The cells are separated from the water using tiny mesh screens, then dried and ground. Cutetonic organic chlorella powder is a broken cell wall powder, meaning the tough outer wall of the cells has been broken down during processing. The result is a fine powder that mixes easily into drinks.
How to use chlorella powder: quick start
The powder has a fine particle size and mixes easily into liquids. Our label gives a serving of 5 g. Check the pack for directions and, if you are new to it, start with a smaller amount and see how you like the taste.
- In water: stir or shake in a bottle until fully mixed.
- In juice: mixing with apple, pineapple or orange juice works well.
- In smoothies: blend with frozen fruit, banana and plant milk.
- In bowls and dips: stir into yoghurt, hummus or guacamole for colour.
Simple recipe: green tropical smoothie
Blend a handful of frozen pineapple, half a banana, a splash of orange juice, a glass of water and your serving of chlorella powder until smooth. Pour and drink straight away.
Taste and mixing tips
- Strongly flavoured fruit such as pineapple, mango and banana pair well with it.
- Use a shaker bottle or blender for the smoothest result.
- Expect your drink, and sometimes your spoon, to turn green.
Choosing a chlorella powder
- Check that the ingredients list is a single ingredient.
- Look for a certified organic label if that matters to you.
- Compare the price per serving, not just the pack price.
Storage
Keep the pack sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and use a dry spoon.
