Mandarin Raspberry Smoothie Bowl

Mandarin oranges are juiced creating a tangy base full of vitamin C, an entire cup of raspberries brighten the bowl and are blended with bananas for added creaminess. I added a tsp of moringa for a natural source of vitamins for the day. If that weren't enough it is then topped with fresh banana slices, raspberry chia jam and fresh raspberries creating one irresistible breakfast, snack or dessert. My husband said he should feel guilty for having ice cream for breakfast yet since it is created with smoothie ingredients of bananas, berries and moringa it creates one guilt-free delicious meal. Why did I used Moringa? Moringa is rich in minerals and vitamins boasting 25 times for Iron than Spinach, 15 times the potassium of bananas and 17 times more calcium than milk. It has vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B7, C, D, E and K with calcium, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese and zinc to name of a few reasons why I think it is a great edition to your kitchen! The benefits go on and on, read more here if you are interested in learning more.
