Ingredients

125 ml (½ cup) kale
15 ml (1 Tbsp) kelp or knotted wrack flakes
250 ml (1 cup) almond milk or other milk of your choice
½ avocado
15 ml (1 Tbsp) lemon juice
½ cucumber, peeled
½ apple, peeled

Preparation

In a blender, mix the kale, seaweed and almond milk.
Add the remaining ingredients and mix again.

The kelp (marketed by Un Océan de Saveurs as “fucus”) used in this recipe has a marine flavour with notes of fleur de sel. If you opt for knotted wrack (marketed by Un Océan de Saveurs as “black goemon”), your smoothie will have pronounced aromatic and briny notes from the sea.

This project was made possible through funding from Digital Museums Canada and the participation and collaboration of Université Laval.
