Incorporating Moringa (Malunggay) into your diet
January 28, 2024
Down and Dirty, Quick and Easy
I have come across numerous recipes using moringa, however many I have tried have come up short in my estimation. EASY is my motto. If a nutritious food can easily be incorporated into my normal eating habits then I will be more likely to eat it. According to studies on moringa, you can get benefits from consuming 420 mg to 2 grams depending on your size, so what does that mean? One teaspoon is about 2 grams. Let me tell you how I incorporate moringa into my meals, bit by bit.
Breakfast
Smoothie – whatever kind you like, just at ¼ teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of moringa powder.
- add ¼ – ½ teaspoon pf powder or a handful of leaves to the following:
- Scrambled eggs – 2 eggs
- Oatmeal – 1 serving
- Pancakes – 1 serving
- Tea – 1 – 2 teaspoons of moringa mint tea or add 1 teaspoon to your favorite tea for a nutritional boost.
Lunch
Smoothie – whatever kind you like, just at ¼ teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of moringa powder.
Salad – add some fresh leaves to the rest of your greens. Add some powder to the salad dressing and stir it in.
Being honest, this is usually a left-over from dinner. However, I will have Moringa Mint Tea, iced, throughout the day and with my lunch.
Dinner
Here comes the fun! Get creative! Add it to:
Spaghetti – add either the powder or fresh leaves to the sauce
Pizza – sprinkle on some fresh leaves. If you’ve made your pizza from scratch, add some powder to the sauce
Meatloaf
Rice – I add fresh leaves in with the rice as it steams
Other greens – add some moringa!
Soup – add fresh, dried or powder
Add fresh or dried to any dish you normally add spices and seasoning
I hope this helps you to add moringa to your meals and snacks throughout the day to enjoy its nutritional goodness.
