Maca root has been used in indigenous Andean societies as a source of nourishment and healing for thousands of years, and continues to be one of the most appreciated superfoods today. Used to increase stamina and combat fatigue, maca root has long been regarded as a highly adaptogenic food. Navitas Naturals Raw Maca Powder is the raw and natural form of this special root - gently dried and ground to preserve its vitality and nutritional structure. With an earthy taste that is slightly nutty with a hint of butterscotch, maca is easily blended into superfood smoothies, various milks, chocolates, or mixed into flour for dessert recipes.

Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Maca Powder is cultivated in its indigenous region of the Junin Plateau amongst the Peruvian Andes. After harvest, the maca roots are slow-dried and gently milled at low temperatures to preserve the food's natural integrity. This product has only one ingredient, maca root, and is raw, kosher, gluten-free, vegan, and 100% organic.

Maca has been traditionally used in baked foodstuffs for centuries; try adding a few spoonfuls to any favorite recipe. Add 1-2 Tbsp of maca to smoothies; maca pairs especially well with other superfoods. Cacao is a perfect pairing with maca. When creating new maca recipes, try using 2 parts fat (like cacao or nut butter), 2 parts sweetener (like agave nectar or yacon syrup), and 1 part maca.

Power Smoothie Recipe - Blend together:
3 teaspoons of maca powder
2 tablespoons cacao powder
8 oz. almond milk
8 oz. water
1 cup berries
Your favorite sweetener to taste
