Welcome to my blog. I am so enthusiastic to share with you guys this African eggplant Smoothie I made today.
Garden egg leaves is a well known African plant. it is also called African eggplant or bitter plant. because of it's slight  bittersweetness.  This plant has amazing health benefits which you may want to know.

# BENEFITS  OF THE AFRICAN EGGPLANT.

*They are loaded with antioxidants which is helpful in protecting against cell damage.
*They also contain a lot of fiber and they are low in calories and also offer help to  people that are into weight management plan.
Some research suggests that the leaves may as well lower blood sugar levels because of it's potential properties. 
To  crown it all , This wonderful plant have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal properties etc.
I have been using it to make soups sauce and native delicacies but today I want to drink  it raw. I will be adding date fruits to it.  I believe  so many of us  know the health benefits of date fruits which is also a natural sweetener. So friends, let's get down business.
