Maca Cacao Smoothie

Organic maca powder is a powerful superfood extract derived from a small, turnip-like root vegetable native to Peru, where it was once used as a means of payment and is still known as the 'aphrodisiac of the Andes’ (for reasons that are best left to your own imagination!). Organic maca powder is an entirely natural product that comes in a variety of different shades, including white, yellow, red, purple and even black. It is loaded with valuable nutrients, such as vitamins (B1, B2, C & E) minerals (calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, zinc, copper, selenium, manganese, tin, iodine, phosphorus, sulphur, silicon and bismuth), complex alkaloids, fatty acids and sterols.

Organic maca powder can be stirred into your favourite smoothies, protein drinks or shakes and is especially delicious when combined with the flavour of raw cacao.

1 tablespoon of cacao powder
