Ever heard of Blue Spirulina? What is it?

Blue spirulina is a type of spirulina that has been processed to remove the green pigment, leaving a bright blue powder. It's often used in smoothie bowls and other food products to add a pop of color. While it has similar nutritional benefits to regular spirulina, it's important to note that the blue color is achieved through the addition of phycocyanin extract, which may not be present in regular spirulina.
