More-what?
Perhaps you’re thinking this is just another wacky *must have* superfood that’s all hype and no trousers. It’s the new kid on the block of exotic superfoods available in the West, and remains a bit of a mystery to most people. But give it a chance – it’s a cracking food, especially for those on a plant-based diet, because it’s mega-rich in protein, iron, and a host of other things. Read all about the impressive nutritional profile of moringa here. It’s also delicious, and its uses in sweet and savoury recipes are endless.
Ann and I are fans of moringa because we’re lucky enough to have a friend in Paris who is the first French importer of moringa, so she gave us the low-down, in addition to some delish homemade moringa snackeroonies. Thanks, Armelle!
Here’s my first experiment with our new favourite superfood. I hope you test these healthy green bites yourself – they’re sure to rock your teatime as much as a personalised doggie mug. I should know.

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup oats
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 2 tablespoons goji berries
- 1 tablespoon moringa powder – you can sub matcha, but you won’t get the same nutritional benefits
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup/maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Blitz the almonds and oats down to crumb-sized bits in a blender or food processor for about 1 minute.
- Place almond/oat crumbs in a mixing bowl and add all the other ingredients. Combine.
- Press mixture into a cake/bread tin. Refrigerate for about 30 mins and then cut into bars or bite-sized pieces. Or, make the mixture into 20-or-so bite-sized balls. Enjoy!
Let us know how these turn out for you, and your thoughts on moringa!
P.S. We get our moringa from the excellent Moringa & Co, who sell online and at the Guyapi superfoods shop, 73 rue de Charenton, 75012, Paris.
