Maca Warrior Smoothie!
With Autumn creeping in and the warm spice of cinnamon surrounding us, this
superfood smoothie is the loveliest seasonal treat with a maca powder super kick.
Maca is a root vegetable grown in the Peruvian Andes. It was sacred to the Incas
and has been used as a food and medicine in South America for centuries. It is well
known for its ability to help enhance strength and endurance. In fact, Incan warriors
would often consume maca before long journeys and battles.
So this smoothie is an absolute gem to up our energy this time of the year! Enjoy!
