FAQ

Everything you need to know

Can I cook fresh frozen spirulina?

No. Cooking destroys the heat-sensitive nutrients and active compounds. Use it fresh, blended, or stirred into cold or room-temperature foods and drinks.

Do I need to thaw it first?

For smoothies and blending, use it frozen directly. It adds thickness and chill. For stirring into drinks or yogurt, let it thaw for 30-60 seconds first.

How much spirulina is in each recipe?

Every recipe on this page uses exactly 28 g of fresh frozen spirulina, which equals 2 SimpliiGood cubes. This is one standard serving.

Can I use powder instead?

These recipes are designed for SimpliiGood fresh frozen spirulina. The fresh frozen format preserves active compounds better than dried powder. We do not recommend substitutions.

Does it taste like powdered spirulina?

No. Fresh frozen spirulina has a much cleaner, milder taste than powder. When blended with fruit, it's barely noticeable.

Can I use it every day?

Yes. Fresh frozen spirulina is real food. Many customers use it daily as part of their morning routine.

What should I mix it with?

Sweet fruits (mango, pineapple, banana), citrus juices, creamy bases (yogurt, oat milk) and smoothies are the most popular pairings.

Can kids use it?

Yes. Many families use SimpliiGood as part of their daily routine. The Tropical Kids-Friendly Smoothie is a great starting point.

Is it a supplement?

SimpliiGood is fresh frozen spirulina, a real, whole food. Not a processed supplement, not a powder, not a tablet.

Why fresh frozen instead of dried?

Flash freezing preserves spirulina's active compounds, including phycocyanin, chlorophyll and antioxidants, at their peak. Drying degrades many of these nutrients.

How should I store it?

Keep it frozen at all times. Store the tray in your freezer. Use directly from frozen for best results.

Ready to start your daily ritual?

Every recipe uses 2 SimpliiGood cubes (28 g). Real food. Real nutrition. Real simple.
