Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately to preserve nutrient density, but can be stored in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 12 hours (shake well before drinking). Substitution: If fresh moringa leaves are unavailable, substitute with 1 tablespoon of moringa powder. Make-ahead: Freeze pineapple and banana in pre-portioned bags for even faster prep.
