Maca is one of my most favorite superfoods. It’s an adaptogen, which helps lower stress & makes us more resilient. In addition, it’s known to help regulate hormones, increase semen production & help with fertility issues. There is such a thing called the “maca baby” phenomenon. Consider yourselves warned.
That said, it tastes amazing, so even if you don’t drink it or use it for these purposes, you’ll find that you’ll quickly learn to love this caramel-like taste. As with anything that’s potent and medicinal, it’s helpful to start out small and also it’s a good idea to take a break from it once in a while (as with Echinacea, etc.)
Note: to achieve a creamy consistency, you might consider combining all of the ingredients together in a blender first, and then heating to desired temperature.
1-cup water, coconut milk, almond milk, herbal brew of your choice, etc.
1 tsp maca powder
1 tsp sweetener of choice, optional (a drop of stevia is sufficient, or honey, coconut nectar, etc. I find that I like it on its own though)
Add ins: you can add in a bit of cacao powder, chai spices (cardamom, cinnamon, clove, etc.), ginger powder, or if you’d like a restful sleep, add in some nutmeg. I also love a bit of vanilla powder on top.
Combine ingredients together in a small pot and heat to warm. Enjoy!
