Ingredients:
For the Sea Moss Gel:
1 cup live sea moss
Water for soaking and blending
For the Smoothie:
1 cup ripe mango, cubed (fresh or frozen)
1 cup soursop pulp, fresh or frozen
1/4 cup organic cane sugar (adjust to taste)
1 cup ice chunks
1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
Topping/Garnish:
A sprinkle of ground cinnamon

Instructions:
Preparing Sea Moss Gel:
Start by thoroughly rinsing the live sea moss in cold water to remove any debris and salt.
Place the cleaned sea moss in a bowl of water for 24 hours or until it swells and becomes soft.
After soaking, drain and rinse the sea moss once again.
In a blender, add the soaked sea moss along with enough water to blend it into a smooth gel-like consistency. This may require 1-2 cups of water, depending on your desired thickness.
Blend until you achieve a smooth and silky sea moss gel. Set it aside.
Making the Smoothie:
In a blender, combine the ripe mango, soursop pulp, organic cane sugar, ice chunks, and almond milk.
Blend until you achieve a creamy and smooth consistency. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass.
Garnishing:
Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the top of the smoothie for a warm, aromatic touch.
Drizzle honey over the smoothie for a natural, sweet contrast.
Finish with the delicate elegance of Egyptian blue lotus flower petals for a stunning visual appeal.
Insert a straw, give it a gentle stir to combine the garnishes, and enjoy your refreshing Mango Soursop Sea Moss Smoothie!
