Keep SPRU in the freezer
SPRU is a fresh-frozen food. Put it in the freezer as soon as it arrives and keep it frozen until you are ready to use it. It belongs in the freezer, not the fridge. Read the product-care instructions.
Prepare the portion you need
Take out only the portion you plan to use and defrost it. Follow the serving guidance for the product you have chosen. SPRU Shots are ready to drink once defrosted—shake well, open and enjoy. Stix are flexible portions that can be added to drinks and smoothies.
Simple ways to enjoy fresh spirulina
- Smoothie: Blend a thawed portion with banana, berries or pineapple and your choice of water, juice or milk.
- Breakfast bowl: Stir a portion through yoghurt, oats or a fruit bowl, then add your usual toppings.
- Dips: Mix into hummus, avocado dip or another favourite savoury dip.
- Dressing or sauce: Whisk into a salad dressing or stir through a cool sauce.
- Quick Shot: Choose a SPRU Shot, defrost it, shake well and drink.
Make the flavour work for you
Spirulina has a distinctive earthy taste. Fruit, citrus and familiar smoothie ingredients pair well with it; in savoury food, try it in a dip or dressing you already enjoy. Start with the product’s recommended serving and adjust the recipe around your taste.
