Overview
Yogi Super Foods packages this blue spirulina powder in a 5 ounce bag, made from blue-green algae extract and marketed as a rich source of plant protein. Like other blue spirulina products, its main differentiator from standard green spirulina is the processing that concentrates its blue pigment.
The brand frames it with a dual purpose, useful both as a stir-in for smoothies and as a natural food coloring for baking, giving it more versatility than powders marketed for a single use case. The 5 ounce size sits in the middle range compared to the smaller 1 ounce specialty jars and the larger bulk tubs seen elsewhere in this category.
At its price point, it costs more per ounce than plain green spirulina powders, which reflects the extra processing involved in isolating the blue phycocyanin pigment.
