Moringa Smoothie: 10 Tips and an Easy Green Recipe

A smoothie is the easiest way to start using moringa powder. The fruit balances moringa's earthy flavour, and it takes two minutes. Here are our 10 tips, plus a simple starter recipe.

Easy green moringa smoothie (serves 1)

• 1 cup almond, oat or dairy milk
• 1 frozen banana
• ½ cup frozen mango or pineapple
• 1 handful baby spinach
• 1 tablespoon peanut or almond butter
• ½ teaspoon Herbicare Moringa Leaf Powder

Blend until smooth. Taste, then adjust the moringa up slowly on later days, following the label.

10 tips for a better moringa smoothie

1. Start small

Begin with ½ teaspoon. Too much moringa at once can taste grassy and bitter.

2. Choose a creamy base

Almond milk, oat milk, coconut water or yoghurt all work. Creamier bases soften the earthy flavour.

3. Use frozen fruit

Frozen banana, mango, pineapple or berries add natural sweetness and make the smoothie thick and cold without ice.

4. Add leafy greens

Spinach is almost tasteless in a smoothie. Kale is stronger, so use less.

5. Add a healthy fat

Avocado, nut butter or chia seeds make the smoothie more filling and give it a silky texture.

6. Sweeten naturally, if at all

Ripe fruit is usually enough. If you need more, add a date or a small drizzle of honey.

7. Pair with strong flavours

Ginger, cinnamon, lime or cacao all work well with moringa.

8. Blend the powder with the liquid first

Blitz the moringa with your milk for a few seconds before adding the rest. This stops clumps.

9. Top it for texture

Chia seeds, hemp seeds, coconut flakes or granola make it more of a meal.

10. Drink it fresh

Smoothies taste best straight away. If you must store one, use a sealed jar in the fridge and drink it the same day.
