Mineral-Rich Seaweed Smoothie

This mineral-rich smoothie is a great way to start your day or refuel after a workout. It's packed with nutrients from the seaweed, fruit, and seeds, and the almond milk and yogurt provide a creamy texture. The cinnamon adds a touch of warmth and spice.

I first discovered the power of seaweed when I was living in Japan. I was always fascinated by the way the Japanese people used seaweed in their cooking, and I wanted to learn more about it. I started experimenting with different types of seaweed, and I quickly realized that it was a nutritional powerhouse. Seaweed is a good source of iodine, iron, calcium, and other minerals. It's also a good source of fiber and antioxidants.
