Brazilian Ginseng Breakfast Smoothie

Brazilian ginseng powder is a salutary superfood extract made from the Brazilian ginseng root (Pfaffia Paniculata), more commonly known as 'suma root’ or ‘para tudo’, which literally translates as 'for everything’ in deference to its reputed health benefits that have been enjoyed by savvy South American locals for thousands of years. Like its Panax ginseng cousin, Brazilian ginseng powder is bursting with valuable nutrients including vitamins, minerals (such as iron, magnesium, cobalt, silicon and zinc), electrolytes, amino acids, hormones (e.g. sitosterol and stipmasterol) and the important trace mineral, germanium.

Brazilian ginseng powder is an ideal superfood ingredient in a tempting range of rawfood recipes and gives a decidedly exotic twist to all of your favourite smoothies and shakes.
