STRAWBERRY MATCHA CLOUD 🍓☁️
Our kind of morning meditation.

Fresh strawberry-coconut milk, ceremonial matcha and 1 x 3g stick pack of Zivolife, finished with a soft vanilla coconut cloud.
A dreamy summer ritual, made more functional with whole-food fiber from Zivolife.

To make one:
- Blend 75g fresh strawberries, 180ml full-fat coconut milk and 1 tsp coconut sugar until smooth.
- Whisk 2 tsp matcha and 1 x 3g Zivolife stick pack with 60ml hot water until frothy.
- Pour the strawberry milk over ice, followed by the matcha.
- Froth 45ml coconut cream with ¼ tsp vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt, then spoon softly over the top.
- Stir slowly.

Sip somewhere sunny. Save for your next slow summer morning☀️

A charophyte that survived on land more than 500 million years ago. Now it’s in a glass.

What your tan lines are telling you -

The pigments that give food its color are the useful part. Carotenoids are fat soluble, which means they do not just pass through. They collect in tissue over weeks of eating them consistently, skin included. Beta carotene, lutein, lycopene. Sweet potato, red pepper, tomato, mango, spinach, kale.

No single food does this on its own. The research keeps landing on the same unglamorous answer, which is variety and consistency, every week, for years.

Zivolife makes the consistency part easier. One whole plant, a green microalgae called Klebsormidium, carrying the pigments it developed over 500 million years of living in direct sunlight. Three grams stirred into water, alongside the vegetables rather than in place of them.

Eat the color. Wear the SPF. Your skin does the rest.

Save this for the next beach day. Send it to whoever still thinks a base tan is protective. DM us if you want the research.

What most of us call “blue‑green algae” is not algae at all. It is cyanobacteria, a photosynthetic bacterium that early scientists lumped in with algae because of the color.

Spirulina (dietary Spirulina/Arthrospira) is one of these cyanobacteria. It has prokaryotic cells, no nucleus, no chloroplasts, and a cell structure completely different from true plants, even though it has been sold as “algae” for decades.

Chlorella, by contrast, is a green microalga. It is a tiny photosynthetic eukaryote closely related to plants that lives in water and never made the jump onto land. Zivolife’s line did.

Zivolife is Klebsormidium flaccidum var. ZL01, a charophyte green alga in the same deep lineage that gave rise to land plants. Around half a billion years ago, branches of these streptophyte green algae evolved the tools to survive on land: desiccation tolerance, stronger cell walls, and new signaling systems. That evolutionary shift paved the way for the first land plants, including every tree you have ever taken shade under.

Spirulina sits far back on the bacterial side of the tree of life. Our Klebsormidium strain sits much closer to land plants in evolutionary terms. In that sense, you are more closely related to forests and mushrooms than Spirulina is to our “green land pioneer.”

And in the scoop, you get one whole organism, Klebsormidium flaccidum var. ZL01, grown, harvested, and dried. Nothing added, nothing extracted.

If you would like to nerd out on the full taxonomy, DM us. We will happily go on and on about it.

You cut the dairy. Then the gluten. Then the onions, the beans, the coffee. The list got shorter. The bloating stayed exactly where it was.

Every test came back normal, and normal turned out to be its own kind of dead end.

What we keep hearing from customers who lived that loop: nothing being added back was in a form the gut recognized. Isolated fiber is engineered to hit a nutrient label. A whole plant feeds gut bacteria in ways isolated compounds cannot replicate.

Zivolife is one whole plant. Nothing extracted, nothing added.

Save this if your safe foods list is down to about four things. DM us and we will send you what shifted for people in the same loop.
