Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup prepared sea moss gel
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the sea moss gel if you haven't done so already. To prepare sea moss, rinse 1 cup of dried sea moss thoroughly under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Soak the rinsed sea moss in a bowl of water for 12-24 hours, ensuring it is fully submerged. After soaking, drain and rinse again. Blend the soaked sea moss with 1-2 cups of fresh water until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a container and refrigerate. The gel will thicken as it cools and can be stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 weeks.
- Once you have your prepared sea moss gel, gather all the ingredients for the smoothie: 1/2 cup of the prepared sea moss gel, 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of honey (if using), 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and ice cubes if desired.
- In a blender, combine the 1/2 cup of prepared sea moss gel, 1 ripe banana, and 1 cup of almond milk. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add 1 tablespoon of honey. For added nutrition and texture, include 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.
- If you like your smoothie chilled, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender. This is optional and can be adjusted based on your preference for temperature.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no chunks of banana or chia seeds remaining.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or a sweetener of your choice. Blend again briefly to combine any additional ingredients.
- Once blended to your desired consistency, pour the smoothie into two serving glasses. You can garnish with additional chia seeds or a slice of banana on top for presentation, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious Sea Moss Smoothie!
Tips
- • Preparation is Key: Always start with high-quality, thoroughly cleaned sea moss. The cleaner your moss, the better your smoothie will taste.• Gel Consistency Matters: When preparing sea moss gel, aim for a smooth, jelly-like texture without any graininess.• Temperature Tricks: For an extra refreshing smoothie, freeze your banana beforehand to create a thicker, more ice cream-like consistency.• Customization is King: Feel free to experiment with different milk alternatives like coconut milk or oat milk to find your perfect flavor profile.• Storage Hack: If you have leftover sea moss gel, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.• Sweetness Balance: Start with a small amount of honey and adjust to taste – you can always add more, but you can't take it away!• Nutrition Boost: Don't be afraid to add other superfoods like spirulina, maca powder, or additional chia seeds for an extra nutritional punch.
