Post-Workout Smoothie With Moringa

by Julia Chan on March 29, 2024

Moringa leaves are super rich in antioxidants and bioactive plant compounds that help with inflammation helping to speed up recovery. Loaded with protein, iron, and significant amounts of vitamins A, C, and E, calcium, and potassium, it serves as a nutrient dense superfood. Its mild flavor makes it perfect for blending into smoothies. I take it up a notch by adding protein powder, almond butter, avocado and spinach for an extra boost of nutrients right after my workouts! Enjoy!

1 tablespoon cacao nibs

1 large handful spinach
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup almond milk
1 cup ice
