Why Add Sea Moss to Smoothies?
Smoothies are the easiest way to consume sea moss daily. The gel is virtually tasteless when blended with fruits and other ingredients, making it perfect for people who don’t love the ocean-y flavor on its own. Plus, the gel acts as a natural thickener, giving your smoothie a creamy, satisfying texture.
Each recipe below includes 1-2 tablespoons of homemade sea moss gel.
1. The Green Immunity Booster
Best for: Immune support, energy
- 2 tbsp sea moss gel
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup frozen mango
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger (grated)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 cup coconut water
Blend everything on high for 60 seconds. The spinach and sea moss deliver a mineral-packed punch while the mango and banana keep it sweet and creamy. The ginger adds anti-inflammatory benefits and a pleasant kick.
2. Tropical Collagen Builder
Best for: Skin health, anti-aging
- 2 tbsp sea moss gel
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1/2 cup frozen papaya
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 cup almond milk
The vitamin C from pineapple and papaya works synergistically with the collagen-supporting minerals in sea moss. Turmeric adds anti-inflammatory power, and hemp seeds provide omega-3s for skin health.
3. Berry Gut Healer
Best for: Gut health, digestion
- 1 tbsp sea moss gel
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/4 cup plain kefir or yogurt
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp raw honey
- 3/4 cup oat milk
The prebiotics in sea moss feed the probiotics in kefir, creating a synbiotic combo that’s fantastic for gut health. Berries add antioxidants, and flaxseed provides additional fiber.
4. Chocolate Energy Bomb
Best for: Energy, workout recovery
- 2 tbsp sea moss gel
- 1 frozen banana
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 scoop plant protein (optional)
- 1 Medjool date (pitted)
- 1 cup oat milk
This tastes like a chocolate milkshake but is packed with iron from both sea moss and cacao. The banana and date provide natural energy, while almond butter adds healthy fats for sustained fuel.
5. The Thyroid Supporter
Best for: Thyroid function, hormonal balance
- 2 tbsp sea moss gel
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 Brazil nut (selenium source)
- 1 tsp maca powder
- 1 cup coconut milk
This smoothie combines sea moss (iodine) with Brazil nuts (selenium) and maca (adaptogen) — three nutrients that directly support thyroid function. The avocado provides healthy fats for hormone production.
Tips for the Best Sea Moss Smoothies
- Use frozen fruit — it makes the smoothie thick and cold without watering it down with ice
- Add the gel last — blend your other ingredients first, then add sea moss gel and pulse to combine
- Start with 1 tablespoon if you’re new to sea moss, then increase to 2
- Make ahead: Freeze smoothie packs (pre-measured fruit + gel in freezer bags) for grab-and-go mornings
