The battle of the greens has officially begun, and it looks like we have an obvious winner! Cafes, fruit stands, and health stores have all incorporated the special powdered green tea into everything from smoothies to Matcha lattes, but the new contender packs quite a punch when it comes to nutritional benefits.
Moringa Oleifera, also known as the “miracle tree”, is native to the East Asian sub-Himalayan region, dating all the way back to ancient times thousands of years ago. From cosmetic benefits to traditional, natural medicine, the leaves of this ancient tree have been used in over 200 forms of treatments. With a nutritional profile as overwhelmingly impressive as Moringa’s, with high contents of protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C, potassium, calcium, iron, and so much more, it is easy to see why!
Okay, but Does it Taste Good?
With an earthy, savory flavor that packs a mild pinch of spice, Moringa powder is perfect if you’re not a fan of satisfying your sweet tooth cravings first thing in the morning.
Start off with half a teaspoon of the powder mixed in with hot water, a squeeze of lemon, and a dash of honey to taste. Alternatively, you can find fruit-flavored ready Moringa tea bags at your local health stores, with flavors like blueberry, mint, raspberry and pomegranate.
You can also add Moringa powder to everything from your smoothies to your soup for an extra dash of nutritional boost! Start with half a teaspoon and work your way up once you get accustomed to the taste.
