A green tea spirulina shot is a small drink made with green tea and spirulina, a blue-green algae sold as a powder or supplement. Recipes may also include water, citrus juice, or other ingredients, so the exact contents vary.
To make a green tea spirulina shot, whisk spirulina powder into a little cooled green tea until smooth, then stir in the rest of the tea. A squeeze of lemon is optional. Avoid mixing the powder into very hot tea, which can be harder to whisk smoothly.
Yes, a green tea spirulina shot made with regular green tea contains caffeine. The amount varies with the tea and how it is brewed; using decaffeinated green tea reduces the caffeine.
A green tea spirulina shot tastes grassy and slightly bitter, with a seaweed-like note from spirulina. Lemon or another tart juice can brighten the flavor, while sweetener can soften the bitterness.
Drink a green tea spirulina shot earlier in the day if caffeine affects your sleep. It can be taken with breakfast or as a daytime drink; having it late in the evening may keep sensitive people awake.
Yes, you can drink a green tea spirulina shot on an empty stomach, but green tea may cause nausea or stomach discomfort for some people. If that happens, have it with food instead.
Yes, spirulina powder can be mixed into green tea, but cooled tea is easier to whisk without clumps. Let freshly brewed tea cool first, then blend or shake the ingredients and drink promptly.
A homemade green tea spirulina shot is best consumed soon after preparation. If you need to keep it, refrigerate it in a sealed container and shake before drinking because the spirulina can settle; follow the label for a packaged shot.
No, a green tea spirulina shot does not cause weight loss by itself. It may be a low-calorie drink, but it does not replace a sustainable eating pattern or reliably suppress appetite.
Ask your healthcare professional before using a green tea spirulina shot during pregnancy. Green tea can contribute caffeine, and the purity of spirulina products varies, so whether it is appropriate depends on your circumstances.

A Green tea spirulina shot combines brewed green tea with spirulina in a small, concentrated serving. It is a modern wellness-style drink rather than a dish tied to one traditional cuisine, and recipes vary in how strongly they feature each ingredient.
Expect the tea’s gentle bitterness alongside spirulina’s distinctive earthy, grassy taste. It is usually taken chilled or at room temperature in a few sips, often as a quick drink between meals or alongside breakfast. In places where green tea is a daily staple, it may fit naturally into that routine; elsewhere, it is an occasional alternative to a larger drink. It is low in calories—42 per 100 g—and pairs well with lemon. If the flavour is too intense, dilute it with water rather than sweetening it.
Medium
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
