A strawberry and banana smoothie is one of the easiest ways to use sea moss gel, especially if you are new to it.
The fruit does most of the flavour work, the banana adds creaminess, and the sea moss gel blends in smoothly without taking over the drink.
No complicated wellness ritual required. Just a simple smoothie that tastes good and happens to include sea moss gel.
Why this smoothie works
Strawberry and banana are a classic pairing for a reason.
Strawberries bring a fresh, fruity flavour, while banana adds natural sweetness and a thicker texture. Together, they help soften the mild ocean-like taste of plain sea moss gel.
This makes the recipe a good starting point if you want to add sea moss gel to your routine without eating it straight from the spoon.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon sea moss gel
- 1 cup almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk or your preferred milk
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional
- A few ice cubes, optional
Method
- Add the banana, strawberries, sea moss gel and milk to a blender.
- Add honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
- Add ice cubes if you want a colder, thicker drink.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness or milk amount if needed.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy straight away.
Recipe notes
- Use frozen strawberries for a thicker, colder smoothie.
- Use a very ripe banana for natural sweetness.
- Start with 1 tablespoon of sea moss gel if you are new to it.
- Add more milk if you prefer a thinner smoothie.
- Use maple syrup instead of honey if you want a vegan option.
How much sea moss gel should you add?
For this smoothie, 1 tablespoon of sea moss gel is a simple amount to start with.
A common daily serving is around 1–2 tablespoons per day, but always follow the guidance on your product label and avoid the idea that more is automatically better.
Sea moss naturally contains minerals, including iodine, so moderation matters.
Can you make this smoothie vegan?
Yes. Use a plant-based milk such as almond, oat or coconut milk, and choose maple syrup instead of honey if you want extra sweetness.
If your sea moss gel contains honey or any other added ingredients, check the label to make sure it fits your diet.
Can you prepare it ahead of time?
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, straight after blending.
If you need to prepare it ahead, keep it covered in the fridge and drink it as soon as possible. The texture may thicken or separate slightly, so give it a good stir or shake before drinking.
