Sea moss gel blends smoothly into fruit or green smoothies for a silky texture and an easy, plant-based add-in. Below are four UK-friendly recipes with exact measurements, plus swaps, make-ahead tips and a quick note on sensible daily amounts.
Featured Summary: Start with 1 teaspoon of sea moss gel; many people use up to 1–2 tablespoons daily. Blend into cold recipes (or warm—not boiling—drinks). Keep gel refrigerated and use a clean spoon.
Blending tips: Use frozen fruit for a thick, milkshake feel; add liquid gradually; finish with a 20–30 second high-speed blend for gloss.
Pineapple Cleanse (Bright & Zingy)
Sharp, refreshing and great as a morning starter.
- 250 g pineapple (fresh or frozen chunks)
- 1 small key lime (juice) or ½ regular lime
- 10–15 g fresh ginger (peeled)
- 200–250 ml cold water or coconut water
- 1–2 tbsp sea moss gel
- Ice cubes (optional)
Method: Add liquid first, then fruit, ginger and sea moss gel; blend until smooth. Adjust water for thickness.
Swap: Use mango for a sweeter profile.
The Blue Boost (Berry Bowl or Sipper)
Deep berry flavour; lovely as a smoothie bowl.
- 120 g blueberries (frozen)
- 120 g strawberries (frozen)
- 1 tbsp acai puree or powder (optional)
- 200 ml oat milk (or almond milk)
- 1–2 tbsp blue spirulina sea moss gel or plain gel + pinch of blue spirulina
Method: Blend to a thick finish; for a bowl, use less milk. Top with granola and sliced banana.
Swap: Use blackberries if strawberries aren’t in season.
The American Blend (Creamy Chocolate)
Dessert-leaning but balanced—great after the gym.
- 1 large banana (frozen coins if you like it thick)
- 250 ml almond milk (or oat milk)
- 2 Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 tbsp cocoa or cacao powder
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for gloss)
- 1–2 tbsp sea moss gel
Method: Blend until silky. Add a splash more milk if needed.
Swap: Peanut or almond butter instead of coconut oil.
The Mighty Apple (Fresh & Spiced)
Crisp apple with warming spices; breakfast-friendly.
- 2 small Pink Lady apples (cored; leave skin on) or 1 large
- ½ banana (for body)
- 10 g fresh ginger
- 1–2 whole cloves (or a pinch ground)
- ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 200–250 ml cold water or apple juice
- 1–2 tbsp pink pitaya sea moss gel (or plain gel)
Method: Blend until smooth. Strain for an ultra-light finish if you prefer.
Swap: Add a squeeze of lemon to brighten.
Sensible Use & Storage
- How much: If you’re new to sea moss, begin with 1 tsp and build gradually. Many people use up to 1–2 tbsp daily.
- Fridge first: Keep gel refrigerated; use a clean spoon; follow the use-by date. You can portion-freeze in silicone trays.
- Iodine awareness: Seaweeds naturally contain iodine. If you have a thyroid condition, are pregnant/breastfeeding, or take prescribed medication, seek professional advice before regular use.
