Make way for something a little greener and more anti-inflammatory than golden milk, a turmeric beverage that has gained popularity for its anti-inflammatory benefits.
Meet the Moringa Vanilla Spice Latte, a warm beverage perfect for your autumn mornings. Made with a creamy coconut milk and froth, a blend of anti-inflammatory spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamon, and Kuli Kuli Organic Moringa Greens & Protein Vanilla. Isothiocyanates, the key anti-inflammatory agent produced by moringa, are similar to those found in cruciferous vegetables.

A cup of this soothing beverage provides 2 cups of leafy moringa greens, at least 15g of protein, and 5g of fiber — sure to keep you warm and relaxed through the changing colors of fall.
