¿Cómo incorporar la espirulina a tu dieta?

La espirulina es tan versátil que se puede adicionar a cualquier alimento como ensaladas y batidos, aumentando su valor nutricional para tener una dieta equilibrada llena de nutrientes esenciales.

Actualmente se puede encontrar la espirulina en tabletas, comprimidos y polvos que son fáciles de adicionar en los alimentos, una vez que hayas consultado con tu nutricionista la ingesta cotidiana de este ingrediente para que determine cual es la dosis perfecta para tu organismo.

Es importante mencionar que para aprovechar todas las bondades de la espirulina es necesario incorporarla en alimentos fríos, pues al ponerla en contacto con platillos o bebidas calientes, perderá gran parte de sus propiedades nutricionales.
