Wednesday Wellness Fast #8 - Lemon Basil Moringa Tea Smoothie

www.branchhome.com

Ok. So for our eight weeks of smoothies, we have to say our favorite has been the lemon moringa tea. It's refreshing, delish and well...we can't get enough of it. It's light enough as far as tea's flavor and it goes so well with a nice mixture of veggies and fruits.

Stay tuned for our next 8-week health regimen. Wednesdays are our fast days and we're going to use this dedicated day to focus on the foods we need to add to our regimen. Fresh fruits and veggies and there are wonderful recipes to explore out there.

Basil is an herb that belongs to the mint family and is used alot in Italian cuisine. It has wonderful health benefits: anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and high in anti-oxidants.

Chop up all your ingredients. Mix well. Blend away and after it's mixed let your smoothie rest and I love the lemon moringa smoothies chilled. You can also chop up a South African Baby Pineapple.

Simply Delish!

Hope you've enjoyed our 8-week Smoothie Fast Days.
