Spirulina truffles
It's the start of the year. You may, like many people, intend to eat better. But how difficult it is! I have a great proposition for you! Why not combine green superfood and chocolate?! It interests you ?
Spirulina in brief
The truffles that I offer you contain spirulina. This algae has proven itself in health matters for a long time. It is rich in proteins and antioxidants. It also contains a large portion of iron and chlorophyll. Spirulina is so rich in nutrients that it is used to combat malnutrition in certain countries such as India, Peru and China.
