These snack bars are ideal for starting to incorporate spirulina into your diet! A simple and original way to use this super food. 

Spirulina is an algae that grows naturally in lakes and oceans. It is dried and then presented to us as a concentrated powder that I love to add to smoothies.

Almond Spirulina Bars are such a delicious way to start using this amazing superfood in your diet. I happily nibble on these bars knowing that spirulina is filled with:

• Protein with all the essential amino acids, which makes it a complete source of protein. La spirulina contains 55% to 70% protein of excellent quality (proportion of amino acids and optimal digestibility), i.e. from 2,5 g to 3,5 g of protein per 5 g of powder 
• Vitamins such as the group of vitamins B, C, D, A and E are all extremely important for optimal functioning of your body.
• Iron - its richness in iron and vitamin B12 makes it a good ally for the athlete or the anemic or tired person. 
• Chlorophyll - a powerful antioxidant known to support the blood, liver and a healthy immune system.

And that's just to name a few! :)
