Morning Moringa Smoothie
September 15, 2015
Some morning’s there is nothing better than a delicious, nutrient-dense smoothie to start your day. Year’s ago, during the search for my long-gone energy, I came across a little known (to me anyway) tea leaf called Moringa. It’s filled with tons of vitamins and minerals and makes a tasty green smoothie to boot! You may be able to find Moringa powder in some health food stores but if not, never fear — you can order online from Amazon, Nuts.com or Globalmorninga.com.
