Spirulina Cocktail

Drink to your health this season with an alcohol-free cocktail, created by Shannon Wynne for his 8.0 restaurant and bar in Dallas. The protein-packed spirulina algae powder (available in health-food stores) give this drink its deep-green hue. Use plenty of ice for a thick, frosty consistency.

1 banana
10 ounces apple juice
1 teaspoon spirulina powder
2 teaspoons natural bee pollen
2 teaspoons lecithin
Crushed ice
Mint leaf

Combine first 6 ingredients in blender, and mix on high till smooth. Serve in tall glass with straw, if desired, and garnish with mint leaf. Serves 1.
