I’m just delighted with this shake. After feeling like a million bucks after yesterday’s maca recipe, and feeling an extra spark in my step today despite a very challenging week healthwise, I was eager to add another maca smoothie option to my kitchen. And this one is something most people could whip up regularly without getting tired of it… and from pretty pedestrian ingredients, once the raw maca powder has been procured!

If you’ve never tried maca powder and have been curious to venture into the unknown, might I suggest you start with this recipe!

Light, frothy, creamy, very vanilla-y… hard, even, to taste the maca.

One of the underlying flavors I always get when I smell maca is a kind of caramel nuance, which makes me thing of vanilla, creamy banana, dates, and aromatic coconut oil, all of which are combined here to a delicious shake a kid would never know was meant to promote energy and health.

I hope you like it.
