SUPERFOODS

What is Moringa Oleifera and why is it considered a Superfood?

Moringa Oleifera is nature’s “miracle tree”. Gram for gram, Moringa leaves contain:

1. 4x the Calcium of Milk 2. 4x the Vitamin A of Carrots 3. 2x the Protein of Yogurt 4. 3x the Potassium of Bananas 5. 7x the Vitamin C of Oranges

A Superfood is defined as a food that is high in nutrient value. Hence, Moringa Oleifera is right up there with the best. Moringa Oleifera has 90+ verifiable, cell ready vitamins, minerals, vital proteins, antioxidants, omega oils and many other benefits. Moringa is idigenous to many countries with hot and dry climates and will grow very fast and hardy. It is not common to North America as the climate is too cold and varied. India, Africa and the Philippines are to name a few of the countries that grow Moringa Oleifera. It is important not to use only the Moringa leaves as the number of nutrients diminishes greatly. A quality, nutrient dense, Moringa Oleifera product will contain the most beneficial parts of the tree; the leaves, the seeds and the fruit.

Notes from my friend, Pat Andersen, Holistic Health Practitioner:

“There are different grades of Whey Protein in the world. Zija Int’l uses the purest form available. Zija Int’l only uses Whey that comes from organically grass fed cattle. Plus, Zija Int’l manufactures all of their products in an FDA approved facility that Zija Int’l both owns and operates. Plus, Prime 90 TM is infused with the Superfood, Moringa Oleifera making it a ‘Drink of Champions’.

I have found that those who are lactose intolerant are able to consume the Prime 90 TM Protein Meal Replacement Mix, with no side effects. I look forward to sharing these Healthy Smoothie recipes that Dlynn has created with my family, friends and associates.”

Introduction from Dlynn:

I use Zija’s Prime 90TM Meal Replacement Drink Mix in all my Smoothie

Recipes. Compared to many other Protein Mixes, Zija’s Prime 90 TM

stands high above the crowd for daily nutritional requirements and is also

at a competitive price point.

Each serving of Prime 90 TM is infused with Zija’s proprietary mix of Whey

Protein, Moringa Oleifera Leaf Powder, Moringa Oleifera Seed Cake,

Moringa Oleifera Fruit Powder and Moringa Oleifera Fruit Juice.

At just 145+ calories per serving, this low-fat blend delivers 20g of protein

and 1g of fibre to help keep you fuller longer and maximize metabolic

benefits.

Zija’s Prime 90 TM Meal Replacement Drink Mix comes in two (2) flavors;

Vanilla Bean or Dutch Chocolate. The protein is the highest quality,

organic, grass fed whey protein. Some of the recipes below will taste great

with either flavour, some only with Vanilla. That’s a personal choice

I suggest using organic as much as possible but I understand that not

everyone can easily access organic foods. If you can’t access organic fruit,

please clean the fruit as much as you possibly can to get rid of any

pesticides. A vinegar water soak/wash will help clean your fruits.

If you are wishing to lose weight, choose one of these recipes in this

book. Replace your a.m. breakfast with your Smoothie of choice and have

another Smoothie for lunch but without the added fruit or other

ingredients. Simply add pure water and/or unsweetened Almond (or Rice

or Hemp) milk and slowly drink the second Smoothie over ice.

Much cheaper than eating out or on the run and much better for your health!
