When I moved, I promised myself I would finally take my low iron seriously. And that’s exactly what I’m doing. I found the sweetest little juices at the grocery store here, and honestly, I already feel a difference in my energy.

If you’re not already taking moringa for your iron, please order it. It’s one of the best natural sources of iron and vitamin C, and it makes a beautiful addition to any low-iron routine.

Since I like to keep things fun (and because I don’t love the taste of moringa on its own), I mix it with a little tropical magic. My go-to blend has just four ingredients:

• Moringa
• Ginger
• Lemon or lime
• Soursop juice

If you’re a smoothie lover, you can sprinkle a little moringa powder right into your blend too.

I recommend using this as an addition to your iron care routine, not a replacement, since your body may still need iron from other foods. But let me tell you, it feels so good to finally wake up and not be so tired all the time. Soft girl summer energy really does start with nourishing your body from the inside out.

Herbs take time to work so you need to have patience. I started feeling the results on day 9.
