Equipment
- 1 Blender High-speed if possible
Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon moringa powder
- ½ cup fresh spinach (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 3–4 ice cubes
Instructions
- Add banana, milk, spinach, and moringa powder into a blender.
- Toss in chia seeds and honey if using.
- Add a few ice cubes and blend on high for 30–45 seconds until smooth.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- New to moringa? Start with ½ tablespoon and gradually increase to avoid overwhelming the flavor.
- Make it creamier: Use frozen banana or add ¼ avocado for a richer texture.
- Boost protein: Add a scoop of vanilla plant-based protein or Greek yogurt (if not vegan).
- Add-ins to try: Ginger, turmeric, matcha, or cinnamon for extra flavor and health benefits.
- Sweetness control: If your banana is ripe, you may not need honey or syrup. Taste before adding.
- Storage tip: Best served fresh, but you can store it in an airtight glass jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
