A good smoothie starts with flavors you already enjoy. Sea moss gel can be another ingredient in that mix: add it alongside your fruit and liquid, blend, and adjust the texture until it suits you.
Start with your usual smoothie
You do not need a new recipe to begin. Make your regular fruit smoothie and add the amount of sea moss gel recommended on your jar. If you are using a flavored gel, choose fruit that pairs with it. Banana with banana, berries with blueberry, or mango with pineapple are easy starting points.
Use the directions on your own product for serving and storage. This guide is about preparation and flavor, so the jar remains your reference for how much to use.
A simple banana smoothie
- 1 banana, fresh or frozen
- ¾ cup milk or a plant-based drink you enjoy
- Your sea moss gel, following the serving directions on the jar
- A few ice cubes if you want a colder drink
Add the liquid to your blender first, then the banana and gel. Blend until smooth. If it is thicker than you like, add a small splash of liquid and blend again. Taste before adding a sweetener; the fruit may already give you the sweetness you want.
Two ways to change the flavor
Berry: Replace the banana with a cup of mixed berries. Start with the same amount of liquid, then adjust after blending. Frozen berries give you a colder, thicker smoothie.
Tropical: Use a cup of mango or pineapple pieces with coconut water or your favorite plant-based drink. Start with one fruit so you can taste how it works with the flavor of your gel.
Adjust texture one step at a time
For a thinner smoothie, add liquid a little at a time. For a thicker one, add more frozen fruit. Changing one ingredient at a time makes it easier to find a version you will want to make again.
If the gel is not blending evenly, scrape the sides of the blender and blend again. A spoonful of gel should go into the blender with the other ingredients, rather than being stirred into the finished drink.
Make it your own
Write down the fruit, liquid, and flavor combination you liked. That small note saves you from guessing next time. Once you have a favorite base, try a different Healistix flavor and see how it changes the drink.
