An easy way that I like to consume baobab is in this smoothie, or in my favorite Easy and healthy summer drink using these drink mixes. Purchase your baobab powder today though this link.
What does baobab powder taste like?
Baobab powder has a naturally citrus taste to it. A little like a lemon, or a sour orange.
Can you take baobab powder on a regular basis?
Yes, due to the versatility in baobab, you can take it regularly. The powerful nutrient rich superfood can offer you many benefits. Recommended daily intake is 1-2 tablespoons.
There is no reason necessarily that you should not take it regularly, however, watch your body. If you think that it is causing discomfort or other issues then possibly back off. Do your own research to determine if baobab powder is something you should not be taking on a regular basis.
