You can add moringa into what you’re already eating! However, below are some recipes that you can add your daily moringa powder into.
Breakfast
Moringa Breakfast Bowl
Ingredients:
Granola
1 ½ cup Oats
⅓ cup Chopped Almonds
2 tbsp Flax Seeds
2 tbsp Chia Seeds
2 tbsp Oil of your choice
2-3 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Vanilla
The Bowl:
1 cup Frozen mixed berries
1 Banana
1 tsp moringa leaf powder
¼ cup water (more if needed to blend)
Instructions:
Mix all granola ingredients in a bowl.
Transfer the mixture into a large skillet. Cook on med-high heat, stirring often. Heat until oats and nuts are toasted and a brown color.
When finished, turn off the heat, push granola together to form clumps and let cool.
After it is cooled, set some aside for your breakfast bowls and store the rest in an air tight container.
Blend bowl ingredients until a thick mixture is formed. Add additional water if needed to ensure all ingredients blend nicely and transfer to a bowl. Add the granola and whatever other toppings you like.
Stir into:
– Juice (at room temp & shake well. It’s harder to mix it into cold liquids)
– Flavoured yogurts (my fav is Greek style coconut)
– Bowl of oatmeal
– Apple sauce
Lunch
Coming soon…
Sprinkle onto:
– Scrambled eggs or omelettes
– Salads
– Wraps
– Salad dressings
– Taboule salad (another personal fav)
Dinner
Coming soon…
Stir into:
– Soups or pasta sauce (just before serving. Do not boil the moringa powder or it will lose some of its nutritional value)
Snacks
Moringa Bark
Ingredients:
1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips (or 6 oz. of 70% coco chocolate bar)
1 ½ tbsp. moringa powder
½ cup chopped nuts (we used walnuts)
¼ cup Golden Raisins (or other dried fruit)
2 tbsp. Flax seeds
Instructions:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stir the chocolate in a double broiler on low heat until melted.
Add moringa powder and stir until mixed.
Pour the chocolate into an even layer about ¼-½ in thick on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the flax seeds, raisins & nuts onto the melted chocolate. Lightly press them into the chocolate.
Put the baking sheet in the fridge (or freezer) to harden the chocolate.
Break into pieces, and serve.
Notes:
I don’t have a “double broiler”, so I heat a couple inches of water in the bottom of a pot and find a bowl that fits nicely inside the pot. The steam from the water will melt the chocolate in the bowl.
You can play with this recipe. Choose a mixture of your favorite nuts and dried fruit to put in the bark.
Moringa guacamole
Ingredients:
2-3 tsp. moringa powder
3 ripe avocados
½ cup onion (finely chopped)
1 cup cherry tomatoes (chopped – we used yellow cherry tomatoes)
½ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Halve, stone, and roughly chop the avocados in a large bowl.
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well to combine.
Drizzle olive oil into guacamole to achieve desired consistency.
Notes: I’m obsessed with garlic, so I added a couple of cloves. If you like a little KICK to your guac, sprinkle in some cayenne powder.
Moringa Energy Balls – Seed & Ginger
Ingredients:
1 heaping tbsp. moringa powder
1 cup mixed seeds (pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, hemp seed and flax seed- make your own combo!)
1 heaping tsp. cinnamon powder
½ tsp. freshly grated ginger (or ¼ tsp ginger powder)
⅔ cup raisins
1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
A squirt of honey (whatever is needed to make the balls stay together)
Instructions:
Grind seeds along with the moringa powder, cinnamon, & ginger in a food processor until you get a coarse meal.
Add the raisins and vanilla extract and the process until everything clumps together. Roll into balls (approx. 1 ½” in diameter).
They will keep (in a sealed container) in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
You can also freeze these to increase their longevity for several months (they are edible immediately from frozen).
Servings:
Makes 12 balls
Smoothies
This is the EASIEST way to add moringa to your diet. We provide some recipes below, but feel free to add it into the smoothies that you are already making! If you make smoothies with strong flavoured foods (nut butters, coconut, pineapple, etc), then you will hardly notice the taste of moringa. Promise.
