Local Legend:

The Spirit of the Baobab Tree In many African cultures, the baobab is considered sacred, often referred to as the "Tree of Life." Its fruit, leaves, and bark have been used for centuries for medicinal purposes. It is said that the baobab tree is the home of ancestors and the spirit of the earth, providing everything the people need to survive. In some traditions, it’s believed that drinking baobab juice brings wisdom and vitality, as it connects the drinker to the tree’s ancient energy.

"Add a pinch of cayenne for a little kick!"

We love adding a dash of cayenne pepper to this smoothie for an extra zing. It not only enhances the flavour but also boosts metabolism and circulation!
