By Carla Snuggs
Moringa may sound unfamiliar to many, but it has been used for centuries. It’s a plant that is native to areas of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan and often used in traditional herbal medicine.Like other vitamins and supplements, organic moringa powder has various health benefits. I’m seeing it everywhere right now - Whole Foods called moringa a Top 10 Trend in Food for 2020.
I wanted to learn more about moringa, so I got the scoop from Kelli Taylor, an award-winning registered acupuncturist, and wellness expert of over twenty years with a background in nutrition. Kelli shared that moringa is a superfood and superfoods keep the body healthier and are very nutrient-dense. She also shared some great ways to add moringa to your diet.
Here are just a few more benefits of moringa:
Packed with protein (a complete protein to boot)
Possess 27 vitamins
46 antioxidants
Loaded with essential amino acids
Beneficial for gut health and gut health is very important because it also affects our mood, hormones, appetite, stress levels, and immunity.
How to Use Moringa
Add it into your favorite smoothie
Add it to your favorite salad dressing or sauce
Make it into a tea (it can even be made into a latte with your favourite nut milk)
Add to chia pudding
Add to your favourite pesto recipe
Sprinkle on your cereal
Add it into your baked goods such as banana bread, cookies, etc.
Miracle Tree approached me about trying out their products and I was really intrigued as I’d heard about moringa, but never tried it.
About Miracle Tree
Miracle Tree is a family-owned brand that has 3 major product lines:
* Moringa Herbal Teas (award-winning and caffeine-free)
* Moringa Energy Teas (super-caffeinated coffee alternatives)
* Superfood Powders (great for smoothies and baked goods)
Their moringa is caffeine free, sugar free, non GMO and gluten free. It’s also certified organic from the rainforest of Sri Lanka.
Here are the products I received and description of each one:
Organic Moringa Tea, Strawberry
Miracle Tree's Strawberry & Organic Moringa Superfood Tea is an subtly aromatic strawberry infusion, which blends the sweetness of strawberry flavor with Moringa dried leaves to result in a fun and fruity flavor for a tasty and refreshing drink.
Again this is caffeine free, so I can’t wait to try this in afternoon and evenings.
Organic Energy Tea, Cherry
Each blend contains 155mg of organic caffeine tea extract making it the perfect coffee replacement for those who are looking for an organic energy boost without the jitters and crash. This refreshing and delicious infusion has more caffeine than a cup of coffee and is powered by one of the world's most nutrient-dense superfoods - moringa.
I am definitely looking forward to trying this in the morning. Maybe this will be go-to instead of that 2nd cup of coffee?
Superfood Powder, Moringa
Miracle Tree's Organic Moringa Superfood powder contains our award-winning herbal powder in a biodegradable canister, sourced responsibly and with only the purest moringa leaf from our own plantations. Use them in smoothies, to make lattes, or in cooking and baked goods!
I am really looking forward to adding this to my smoothies and lattes. I also think this would be great in pesto!
I’ll be using the products over the next few days and then letting you know my thoughts. So far I have tried the tea and I LOVE it! Stay tuned!
