What is Maca and Why Is It Good For Me?

Maca powder is a great superfood that is getting a lot of attention right now. Maca is root  that is native to Andes Mountains and used by the Incas and Purivians. It has been highly regarded for centuries as a magical herb, known to help boost immunity, fertility and libido, and many more things. And the best thing is that it has a chocolate-malty flavor, which is nice and adds a great kick to your smoothies. Try my "Chai-Maca" smoothie recipe. It's my interpretation of what a chai smoothie should be-full of spicy, chocolatey goodness and it's great for you! Enjoy!

Chai-Maca Superfood Smoothie Recipe:

Ingredients: 
  • 1/2  of a banana
  • 1/4 of an avocado
  • 1/2 cup of kale or spinach (some recipes, skip greens, but believe with every smoothie you make should add some kind of green, its as shame not to squeeze it in!)
  • 2 tablespoon of maca powder (I like the Maca Magic brand)
  • 1  1/2 cup of almond milk (can also substitute  with coconut milk)
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cinnamon (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon clove (or 2 whole cloves)
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder
  • Serving:  One 16oz smoothie

    About Me

    Who am I and do why write this blog? Each time I ask myself that question, I find that I have so much more to learn and discover. "Who am I" is an ongoing process, and just when we think we've figured it out, life has its way of throwing us a ton of curve balls-but that's why its called a journey.
