Strong Bones Smoothie
BySarah Axtell, ND •April 3, 2024
This smoothie contains the superfood, moringa. One tsp of moringa provides 80 mg calcium. In addition to moringa being a rich source of bone-building minerals, it also contains phytochemicals and antioxidants that have been shown in some research studies to reduce chronic inflammation.
Use collard greens and soymilk for added calcium!
