Sea Moss Banana Smoothie

A delicious meal replacement smoothie consisting of sea moss gel, frozen bananas, coconut water, roasted peanuts and spices.

Sea moss is another trending superfood and if you have been following my blog then you will already be familiar with what it is and the wonderful health benefits.

Today I'm going to share with you this really tasty yet highly nutritious smoothie. That is so delicious and extremely filling to the point of being a healthy meal replacement.

A smoothie that contains a handful of ingredients, most of which that should already be to hand.

This smoothie is a great way to incorporate some sea moss into your diet/lifestyle with minimal effort.

If you have already tried my Caribbean Peanut Punch and sea moss drink (Irish moss) then you will really enjoy this smoothie because I would say it is a combination of both with a banana theme to it.

Are peanut nuts or a bean?

Contrary to popular belief, even though the word "peanut" may have the word "nut" in its name, it isn't a true nut.

Peanuts are legumes and come from the same family as peas and lentils. Despite not being a true nut, it does have the same structural source of protein as a nut.

I personally wouldn't be too overly concerned about which family peanuts belong to.

As they still provide a good source of protein as well as healthy fats known as High Density Lipoprotein (our good cholesterol).

Notes and tips

• Keep in mind this smoothie has enough calories to constitute a meal.
• I highly recommend using frozen bananas not fresh ones as they yield a better texture.
• Use roasted nuts for this recipe, peanut butter is good but I find fresh roasted nuts work best.
• For best results use bananas that are naturally sweet (with the skin almost black) trust me to really enhances the taste and natural sweetness.
• You don't have to add sweetener, but I like to add few dates or sometimes use maple syrup (a small amount is enough).
• Oats are naturally gluten free however, if you are sensitive to trace/cross contamination then use certified gluten free oats.
• Drink your smoothie on the same day and don't leave it to stand overnight.
