Learn about the benefits of sea moss smoothies- and why nutritionists are hopping on the trend.

Why health experts are jumping on the sea moss trend:

Sea moss, also known as Irish moss, is a type of red algae. It’s available raw and in supplement forms such as gel, gummies, and capsules, and it has benefits aligned with those of other seaweeds. Here are some reasons to consider adding this sea vegetable to your diet:

  • It’s a superfood
    • Sea moss is high in fiber, and it can improve blood sugar control and lower your cholesterol. The improvement of these key health factors can lower your risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.
  • Anti-viral
    • Sea moss contains nutrients with anti-viral, antibacterial, anticoagulant, and antimicrobial properties. This boosts your immune system and helps your body fight off sickness.
  • Weight Loss
    • Sea Moss acts as a prebiotic, which helps with digestion, and a healthy digestive system goes hand in hand with weight loss. As a high-fiber food and metabolism booster, it will help prevent overeating.
  • Anti-inflammatory
    • Sea Moss is a natural decongestant, and the anti-inflammatory properties of this superfood make it a great supplement to speed up workout recovery. The main nutrients responsible for dissolving mucus and fighting inflammation are potassium chloride, Omega-3 fatty acids, and chlorophyll. Sea moss contains all of these.
  • Energy boost
    • Sea moss boosts energy and may help relieve fatigue post workout. Sea moss is rich in an amino acid called taurine, which helps with muscle-building and recovery.
  • Gut Health
    • Algae like sea moss is a good source of fiber and live bacteria. This can help to replenish the good bacteria in our gut. Gut health is associated with overall health and therefore this bacterial balance is a key factor for your wellness.
  • Iodine
    • Your body doesn’t make iodine on its own, so incorporating sea moss into your diet is a great way to increase your iodine levels. This is essential to a healthy thyroid.
  • Mental Health
    • Sea moss is high in B Vitamins and can reduce cortisol. This can relieve stress, anxiety, and depression.

Benefits of a tropical post workout smoothie with sea moss:

Not only are tropical post workout smoothies healthy and delicious, but they can be even healthier when you add sea moss.  

  • Weight management:
    • For the most part, smoothies can be a refreshing post workout boost. After you exercise, your metabolism is already doing its job. Added sea moss is a great source of fiber and will help fill you up to combat hunger. Many smoothies that are offered at gyms or stores are high in sugar with unknown additives. It’s best to make your own tropical smoothie post workout, so you know exactly what’s going into it.
  • Provide hydration:
    • You can easily rehydrate with a tropical smoothie post workout.  Including your favorite fruits, vegetables, and sea moss will incorporate the necessary vitamins to replenish and rejuvenate you after your workout.
  • Highly customizable:
    • One of the many great things about a great tropical smoothie post workout is that it’s easy to experiment with. You can choose what to include based on your preferences and needs. Some people may prefer to include a bit more fruit, while others might feel best to keep it low-carb. Sea moss pairs well with any fruit, milk, or juice of your choice!

After finishing your workout, it’s necessary to give your body the nutrients it needs to rebuild its glycogen stores and replace the fluids lost from sweating. A tropical smoothie post workout should help you rehydrate, refuel, and build muscle. Even better, a sea moss smoothie is a quick, easy, and delicious way to accomplish these goals.
