   Dietitian Notes

   Black tea provides gentle caffeine and antioxidants that support focus and circulation. Orange peel and cinnamon add phytonutrients with anti-inflammatory properties. Combining these with Daily Elements microgreens brings extra plant compounds that help support cellular health and daily hydration.
