Spirulina does have a bad rap for tasting fishy or embodying the essence of pond scum in your mouth. Sounds appetizing right? Don’t be put off by a recipe with spirulina. When combined with the creamy sweetness of frozen banana ice cream and topped with fresh jelly black mission figs, your tastebuds are dazzled by so much sweetness that the spirulina is a subtle afterthought.

Nutrient-rich desserts with hidden healthy ingredients.

One year ago, I made the decision to stop eating processed foods. My challenge: my husband is such a picky eater that he would win against a 2-year-old. Since many of my friends come to me for recipes on how to eat nutrient-rich foods, while still eating what they like, I decided to start a food blog, Foodscape. Every Friday I launch a new family-friendly recipe that even the pickiest eaters will eat.
