I'm curious to learn about what everyone likes that people may not know about. I'll start by listing my top 3. I usually add these to smoothies using an almond milk base.

1. Moringa Oliefera

My favorite is moringa. I first Learned about moringa when it was on, Dr. Oz, who I usually don't find a a gret source of information. I did a bunch of research and found out that moringa is the most nutrient desne plant in the world and even holds the record for highest ORAC value(anti-oxident count).

As a health nut, I knew I had to somehow incorporate the most nutritious food in the world into my diet and I'm so glad I did. I tried it from 3 companies so far but only the 1st brand I tried was any good. I found it in a local health food store but you may get a better price online.

The brand of moringa I like best is Green Virgin Products. They are the only ones to package it properly which preserves the nutrition. It has a lot of info on their website.

2. Macca Root

My second favorite is macca root powder. I read about Macca when searching for superfoods and ended up seeing what the hype was about. It is best know for its performance enhancing properties. I tried it and it's no joke. It has a bunch of great health benefits and I can't really taste it much. Most the brand were equal in quality but if I had to pick I'd go with Earth Circle Organics.

3. Goji Berries

My 3rd favorite is goji berries. These are packed with nutrition and I love the taste. It has the highest protein content of any fruit and like moringa, it is a complete protein. My friend got me hooked on these and I always have them around. I also like adding them to trail mix. I have loved all the brands I have tried so far. Pick some up and try for yourself!

So what do you all like?

Raw_Health_Nut, I like to soak the Goji berries and this is probably how it should be done considering they are dehydrated. I like blending fruits and not so much veggies. IMO veggies don't taste the best blended and I would rather eat them. I am sure that there are many combinations that are good but I am not much of a blender as far as that goes. I would never mix fruit with veggies in blender sot that is out for me.
