Have you tried moringa powder? Goodness Me recently sent me a package of SuperLeaf MoringaPlus. I had heard of moringa but never used it before.

What Is Moringa?

Moringa oleifera is actually a tree native to parts of Asia and Africa. Though it’s a tree, it’s typically the leaves that are consumed whole or as a powder. In this case, SuperLeaf MoringaPlus is a powder, and has acerola cherry extract powder, vitamin C and organic high vitamin D mushroom powder added to it for an extra kick!

Why Use It?

According to SuperLeaf, one serving of MoringaPlus contains:

• More than 92 nutrients
• 46 known antioxidants (50% more than acai berries)
• 18 amino acids (complete protein)
• 14x the iron of spinach
• 4x the vitamin A of carrots
• 14x the calcium of milk
• 3x the chlorophyll of wheatgrass
• 4x the vitamin E of almonds
• Over 50% of your daily vitamin B2 in each serving
• 63% of the daily RDA for vitamin D* from organic mushroom powder
• 115% of the daily RDA for vitamin C* from acerola cherry

It’s rich in antioxidants and may lower blood sugar levels - though this has only be tested on mice, not humans.

How To Use It:

Just add 1-2 tsp to your morning smoothie. I would start slowly (1/3 or 1/2 tsp to start) and work your way up to the full dosage.
