Moringa powder has an earthy, almost matcha-like flavor that can be a bit much on its own, so this bowl leans on frozen mango and banana to smooth it out. Ten minutes, one blender, and you've got a thick, spoonable breakfast loaded with plant compounds most diets are missing.
Ingredients
- 2 frozen bananas, sliced
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 tbsp moringa powder
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton)
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup granola
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Add frozen banana, mango, moringa powder, coconut milk, and flaxseed to a blender.
- Blend on high until thick and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Add a splash more coconut milk if it won't move.
- Pour into two bowls.
- Top with granola, chia seeds, blueberries, and shredded coconut.
- Serve immediately with a spoon.
