Noni Powder for Smoothies: A Simple Guide

Noni powder is one of the easiest ways to fold noni into a routine you already have, and smoothies are the natural home for it. The powder blends in, the other ingredients carry the flavour, and you get the format without the pour-and-wince moment some people associate with the juice.

How much to use: the serving size on our powder label is 1 teaspoon per day, so that is your starting point. A little goes a long way with noni, so if you are new to the flavour, begin at the smaller end and adjust to taste.

What it blends well with: noni has a bold, earthy character, so pair it with ingredients that can hold their own. Good partners are:

• Banana, for natural sweetness and a smooth texture.

• Pineapple, mango, or other tropical fruit, which complement noni's own tropical origins.

• Berries, which bring a tartness that plays nicely with noni's edge.

• A base of your choice, from coconut water to your usual milk or plant milk.

A simple starting recipe: one banana, a handful of frozen berries or pineapple, your label serving of noni powder, and a cup of coconut water or milk. Blend until smooth. Adjust the fruit up if you want it sweeter, or the noni down if the flavour is stronger than you like at first.

Texture and taste notes: the powder disperses well and will not make your smoothie gritty if fully blended. Expect a slightly earthier, more grown-up flavour than a plain fruit smoothie, balanced by whatever sweet fruit you add. Our Powder is certified organic, so you know exactly what you are adding to the blender.
