Moringa Mung soup is one of my favorite preparations when I am looking for super healthy foods but also being super lazy to cook anything!! Out of the multiple Moringa recipe I know, this one rocks for its taste, texture, and ease of preparation.

Pack in your lunch box, have it on a rainy day, for dinner or breakfast; this soup will never disappoint you. What’s more, it is one of the Ayurvedic preparations that works great for all body types!
This soup is also a great pregnancy and lactation food, should you be beginning a new phase of your life!!
