Moringa A Superfood I Use For Non-Caffeine Energy
I am loving this Moringa powder I recently purchased at Walmart in the Gluten Free section of the grocery isle. I’ve purchased it before but maybe it’s this brand that made the difference this time. I was feeling a little low in energy and felt like I needed to add a different type of greens powder to my morning post workout protein shake. As many of you know I don’t do dairy amongst other things as well. My protein shakes are pea protein based then I add a fruit blend power (bloom nutrition), L-Glutamine, banana, water, electrolytes powder and now Moringa powder. The serving size is 1 teaspoon but I use 2 and love it as no research seems to show negative side effects.
I tried this Moringa without really doing my research and glad I did because let me tell you I have this level energy through out the day and don’t feel like I’m bonking and reaching for chocolate or sugar as a quick fix. I had a week there where I may have pounded 2.5 boxes of gluten free dairy free chocolate fudge brownie dough. Yikes! Not great I admit, but I fall off the no sugar wagon from time to time.
I committed to the Dr. Bo’s liver cleanse for 1 day, off 1 day and back on 1 more day to kick start the cleansing and feeling better process.
