In a high-powered blender, combine sea moss gel, non dairy milk, dates, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend until well combined, then taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
For a thicker smoothie, use less liquid. If it's too thick for your liking, stream in additional plant based milk until you reach your desired concisisty.

Thanks for the great information, the drink sounds delicious. Have ordered through your website and will add to morning smoothies for sure, as it will replace fresh spirulina (difficult to source reliably ... plus has a funky, distinctive taste hard to mask!)
Would heat (as in soups etc) destroy nutrients in Irish Moss gel?Reply
