TROPICAL SEAWEED SMOOTHIE

From Sea Greens by Kristy Del Coro

This smoothie is a great gateway for beginners who aren’t sure how they feel about seaweed. It has a simple mix of tropical fruits with just a touch of kelp powder, giving you the health benefits but without a strong kelp taste. Avocado gives it extra creaminess, and soy milk adds some protein. It’s a quick, balanced option for breakfast, a snack, or even a post-workout recovery shake.
