Last year,
Moringa-O2
organized a Fambassador Fam Day as a simple get-together party for its
partner bloggers and social media influencers. It was a fun-filled event
where there were a lot of stories shared as well as prizes given away. One
thing that I loved during the event though was the segment where Moringa-O2
invited a bartender and taught us how to make delicious malunggay drinks.
How To Make Delicious Malunggay Drinks
You might be asking, “What, malunggay in my drinks?” But trust me, they were
delicious plus also nutritious. That's why I’m sharing two recipes with you.
Again, these are original recipes from Moringa-O2.
The health benefits of malunggay or Moringa oleifera
I’m sure you’ve been hearing over and over again the
health wonders
of malunggay (Moringa oleifera) practically everywhere. Just the same, one can
never overemphasize the importance of adding it to one’s diet.

For us Filipinos, consuming malunggay is a time-tested solution to increase
breast milk in mothers. Malunggay is also rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin B2,
Vitamin B6, and Vitamin C. It’s also a great source of protein, especially for
those who are following a vegan or vegetarian diet.
Malunggay also works great in helping manage cholesterol levels, keeping
excess body weight off, and in improving circulation. If you love malunggay
pods (fruit), then you are lucky because it contains cancer-fighting
properties.
These are good enough reasons to add copious amounts of malunggay to soups,
ginataan (coconut milk-based) dishes, and pinakbet.
Aside from the above benefits to the body, malunggay extract can also help
keep the hair and scalp healthy, that’s why Moringa-O2 shampoo and
conditioners work well in managing hair fall to prevent eventual hair loss.
Delicious malunggay drinks
When I made these malunggay drinks, I was surprised with how good they tasted.
I’m sure you’ll realize it, too, when you get to try it for yourself.
Anyway, here are two recipes for Iced Coffee with Malunggay Milk Cap and
Malunggay Highball.

Epilogue
We love to add malunggay leaves and pods to our everyday vegetable dishes.
However, I never knew that you can also enjoy malunggay in drinks.
These malunggay drinks are another great way to take advantage of the
health-giving properties of malunggay. They are easy to make and are
definitely delicious.
