Seaweed Smoothie

March 31, 2022

Vegan Seaweed Smoothie

A refreshing green Seaweed Smoothie with a healthy boost of iodine, magnesium and iron. Made with oat milk, this smoothie recipe is low in fat, dairy-free and chock full of nutrients.

Spinach, mango and banana are the base of this green smoothie, with seaweed added for a dose of extra vitamins and minerals.

A healthful addition to vegan diets in need of added iron.

Benefits of Seaweed Smoothie

Vegetables and legumes contain everything needed for a healthy diet. For vegans, though, iodine is one nutrient that needs particular focus. It can be bit tricky to get enough from plant products if you don’t pay attention.

Iodine is essential to make thyroid hormones, the hormones that control your body’s metabolism and cell production. It also helps in both brain and bone growth processes. However, consuming too much iodine is just as dangerous as an iodine deficiency is! So do not overdo it.

Seaweed contains iron, potassium, magnesium, iodine, calcium, fibre, zinc and more. This sea vegetable actually absorbs iodine from seawater! Seaweed also contains many other minerals and trace minerals, including calcium, copper and magnesium. They can be high in protein and fibre, whilst being low in calories and fat-free.

Kelp or Nori…Which to Use in Your Smoothie

Seaweed is an umbrella term that covers many species of sea veggies! You can use any type of human grade seaweed in your smoothie.

We can break seaweed down into three groups — red, brown, and green. Kelp is within the brown seaweeds, which generally have higher levels of iodine than red or green seaweeds.

Nori is what is usually called seaweed sheets, and used mostly for sushi making. It’s also great to eat on its own as a healthy snack. Made of red algae, Nori is also super nutrient-rich.

Both Nori and Kelp are forms of nutrient-rich edible seaweeds that are great in smoothies!
