I hope all is well in your world. Yes, it’s been awhile family, but I’m back in the saddle with all its glory.

I took some much needed time away from the blog to hibernate reflect on life, and everything in between.

So, Let’s talk Sea Moss.

Do you know what it is? Have you ever had it?

Ok, let’s talk basics for the unacquainted. Sea Moss is a species of the red algae family that is sourced off the Atlantic coast of Europe and North America, where it grows abundantly.  It can also be found inhabiting the shelves of most food co-ops and health food stores.

If you’re already familiar, your first encounter was probably at a health food spot where a demonstration was underway on, “How to prepare sea moss” when your greedy curiosity went on high alert and you became repulsed at the thought of consuming anything from the ocean that doesn’t have two eyes, am I right?

Once you learned of its health benefits you were hooked on the FACTS: IT’S RAW, VEGAN, GLUTEN – FREE, NON-GMO, and it has 92 of the 102 minerals the body needs to thrive.

If you ever looked for a powerful herb to nourish your body and not been able to find it, this is it.

It’s loaded with nutrients and minerals to the likes of:

*Amino Acids

*Vitamins B12, B1 & B2

*Calcium

*Chromium

*Iron

*Magnesium

*Zinc

Sea Moss has also aided in treating cancer, colds, flu, and diabetes just to name a few. It also strengthens the bones, teeth, thyroid, and nourishes the skin.

One of my favorite ways to consume this sea of gelatinous gold is in my smoothies and nut milk. I have a delicious cherry smoothie that includes this powerhouse sea vegetable that’s all the RAVE.

For the newbies now learning of sea moss, below is how-to instructions.

    I’ve done that before, posted on accident and was crazy embarrassed by my mistake. But hey we are human, and humans make mistakes so don’t worry about it Tonya. Stuff happens. My ex-boyfriend was from Trinidad & Tobago, and he talked about Sea Moss often. I’ve ever used it or even seen it, but now I’m super curious. I can’t wait to make this recipe and see what it does to my body. I need all the help I can get.

    Oh man, I think we’ve all been there, Tonya. That schedule button is so close to the publish button if you aren’t paying attention! 🙂 Glad you revisited this one though. So I don’t think I’ve ever heard of sea moss, but it sounds like it’s loaded with all sorts of good things. I’ll have to keep this one in mind for sure. Like Mary, I’m really curious about this one now!

    We have all been there and breaks can be a good thing. I have heard of Sea Moss, but never used it or was quite sure how to use it.

    Sometimes you need a break, but I’m so glad you are back. I have never heard of Sea Moss but I’m excited to give it a try. Love all of the health benefits, another way for non-meat eaters to get the much needed B- vitamins. Thanks for another awesome post.
