5 Different Ways To Use Sea Moss Gel

Learn 5 different ways to use Sea Moss Gel! Sea moss, also known as Irish Sea Moss, is an incredible superfood with a wide range of health benefits and many uses!
Sea Moss, also known as Chondrus Crispus, is a red algae that grows along Atlantic shorelines of the Caribbean Islands, North America, Europe. It has incredible health benefits and endless uses!
Sea moss has become increasingly popular due to Dr. Sebi’s teachings on the healing properties of sea moss. If you would like to know more about sea moss, including how to make sea moss gel, take a look at my post: Sea Moss Benefits + How to Make Sea Moss Gel (the right way!!).
Sea Moss Gel is simply soaked sea moss blended with water. You can always add bladderwrack or elderberry to your sea moss to give it even more of a nutrient boost. You can also buy Sea Moss in powder or pill form.
I prefer to buy raw dried sea moss and make my own sea moss gel. It’s super easy and allows me to use it in any way I’d like. If you’re a visual learner, here’s a step-by-step video of how to make sea moss gel: How to Prepare and Make Sea Moss Gel.
When buying Sea Moss online, it is extremely important to buy it from a reputable source! The last thing you want is to ingest fake sea moss — sea moss should not have a chlorine smell or appear flakey!
I purchase my Sea Moss from Donata Skinfood. All of the products sold by Donata are natural and vegan, made without any artificial ingredients! If you’re interested in purchasing raw sea moss, I highly recommend Donata Skinfood.
The recommended amount of sea moss gel to take daily is 1-2 tablespoons per day. You can take up to 1/4 cup.
The Jamaican Irish Moss Drink, also known as a love potion, is made with a blend of non-dairy milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. It is super tasty, vegan, and gluten-free! If you’re interested in trying it, the recipe for the traditional Jamaican Sea Moss Drink is listed below.
The easiest and my favorite way to enjoy the benefits of sea moss is to put it in a smoothie! Because sea moss is so light in taste, whatever fruits and vegetables you use in the smoothie will mask the taste of the sea moss. The most popular sea moss smoothie recipe on my site is the Chocolate Raspberry Sea Moss Smoothie! It’s so delicious and filled with tons of essential omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, and antioxidants!
I also share 16 of my favorite smoothie recipes, many of which include sea moss gel in this post: 16 Healthy Superfood Smoothie Recipes!
Sea moss, often called “vegan gelatin”, has a mucilaginous and gel-like consistency, thus can be used to thicken foods. It’s perfect for thickening soups, stews, drinks, ice cream, and more.
I like to add sea moss into my Superfood Blueberry Chia Jam. It’s made with nutrient-rich chia seeds, blueberries, and with the addition of sea moss it is incredibly nutritious and it tastes amazing. (I can’t taste the sea moss at all in this!) If you’d like the recipe for my Superfood Blueberry Chia Jam, check it out here.
Try adding sea moss to the water when watering your plants! Sea moss is wonderful for the soil and provides the plants with a ton of nutrients. I water my plants with sea moss water about once a month. I simply mix 1-2 tablespoons of sea moss gel into a half gallon of water and use it to water my plants. I’ve seen tremendous growth from my plant babies; they look beautiful!
Sea Moss is not only great for ingesting, but it does wonders for your skin. Because sea moss helps your body produce collagen, it has been nicknamed “vegan collagen”. Of course, you can ingest it and glow from the inside out, but you can also apply it directly to your face for even more of a glow!
About 1-2 times a week, mix 2 tablespoon of sea moss with a teaspoon of turmeric powder and use that as a mask. The sea moss helps to moisturize your skin and the turmeric is antibacterial and has anti-inflammatory properties so it helps to clear or reduce breakouts! It’s the perfect combination to give your skin a beautiful glow!

Hi I wanted to know if you have any suggestions I just bought some Sea moss and I tried it in my smoothie and the taste is not that great. I wanted to see how can I get it so it’s not so salty tasting. So I can continue drinking it so I can see if it helps me I don’t know if it’s just not mixed good enough.
I also wanted to add I only took it twice so far I want to see if it helps with energy which I have heard and all the other benefits.
Hi Gigi! To reduce the salty taste you have to clean the sea moss several times before soaking it. You can put it in a large bowl and cover it with spring water and add 1 lime. Then massage it and clean out any debris or visible dirt. Do this a few times before preparing the sea moss gel to reduce the salty taste.
I just learned so much from this post and need sea moss in my diet ASAP!

Hi! I am not sure exactly what you mean. However, I use Sea Moss as a natural superfood to add to my daily diet, similar to Moringa, Maca, Bladderwrack, and other superfoods. I find it easiest, and my favorite, to consume daily in smoothies.
