Post-Workout Smoothie With Moringa

by on

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!
