#ThatFeelingWhen healthy food makes you feel euphoric long before it gets into your body.
The stream of blue donuts, smoothies and chia parfaits in Sugared Coconut’s Instagram feed are hard to ignore – especially when you realize it’s all ethical, vegan, gluten and nut-free.
We asked the duo behind the feed to share one of their blue-green bowl recipes – packed with spirulina benefits from amino acids to omega fatty acids, antioxidants and and a slew of key vitamins. Learn more about spirulina benefits here, then make a big batch of Sugared Coconut’s nice cream and chia pudding for a gorgeously blue breakfast…
