Maca’s roots go back roughly 5,000 years to the Andean highlands, where ancient Incans thrived on its vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fiber. Still not convinced of its superfood clout? Consider this: If maca was good enough for ancient warriors (with limited resources and no assistance from modern technology, of course), you can bet it’ll power you through even the toughest of days.
Rain or shine, snow or sleet, a morning smoothie infused with ROOT2 Certified Organic Maca Powder will bring out the best in you. All it takes is a teaspoon of this fine, nutrient-dense powder to make a difference.
Even when you’ve had your fill of smoothies, you can turn this, organic wonder into a healthy dessert. Simply blend maca with cacao powder, coconut oil and your favorite seeds. Divide and roll the mixture into balls for an energizing whole-food treat that travels well when you’re on the go. Pretty super, right?
