Chai-Maca Superfood Smoothie: Banana, Cacao, Maca, Avocado with Clove and Cardamom

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
