Green Maca Smoothie
Adding supplements to my routine is kind of difficult when I can’t stand taking pills. Adding them to my smoothies is a game-changer! This green maca smoothie is my newest favorite for gaining the benefits I need from supplements.

Notes
Picking out what type of maca that’s best for you is a bit challenging, so here’s what I did (and recommend doing).
- I started with gelatinized yellow maca since it’s gentler on the digestion system than raw maca.
- I also have their premium maca root powder, which is raw and a blend of red, yellow, and black maca, but the flavor is a bit stronger. If you want to incorporate maca into your daily diet, I recommend starting with the yellow maca first. If you like the benefits, upgrade to the raw maca root powder.
