A tiny shot with big wellness and protein benefits.

If you are looking for a quick, vibrant way to support your wellness routine while also boosting your daily protein intake, Blue Spirulina Protein Wellness Shots are a powerful (and beautiful) option. These electric-blue shots are packed with functional ingredients that support energy, hydration, immunity, and muscle recovery – without caffeine or heaviness.

Blue spirulina is prized for its concentrated antioxidant phycocyanin, which helps combat oxidative stress and support cellular health. Unlike green spirulina, it has a neutral taste and blends seamlessly into drinks, making it perfect for wellness shots that are easy to sip and gentle on digestion.

To turn these shots into a more functional snack, this recipe includes unflavoured protein powder. Adding protein helps support muscle repair, keeps blood sugar levels stable, and makes these shots more satisfying than a standard juice-based wellness drink. Because the protein is unflavoured, it won’t overpower the fresh citrus taste or affect the stunning blue colour.

Fresh orange and lemon juice provide vitamin C to support immune health and collagen production, while fresh ginger adds digestive support and a subtle warming kick. Coconut water acts as a natural electrolyte base, helping with hydration and mineral balance – especially helpful if you are active or enjoy these shots post-workout.

These protein wellness shots are ideal for busy mornings, post-training refuelling, or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up when you want something nourishing but light. They are quick to prepare, easy to store, and a great alternative to large smoothies when you are short on time.

Best of all, they are flexible. You can use whey isolate, plant-based protein, or collagen peptides, depending on your dietary preferences. Prep a small batch at the start of the week and you will have a grab-and-go wellness boost ready whenever you need it.
