Fun facts about Maca to talk about with your friends and sound wicked smart:

Maca (pronounced mah-kah), or maca root, is one of the only things to grow in the mountains of Peru and at very high altitudes.

Maca root isn’t a root at all! It’s actually a cruciferous vegetable, placing it in the same category as kale, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.

On the inside, maca is loaded with important vitamins and minerals, as well as 20 amino acids — 8 of them essential.

Maca root has traditionally been used to enhance fertility and sex drive…It’s also claimed to improve energy and stamina. Those two points alone have us shouting “More! More! More!”…btw, we’re talking about Maca - just in case there was any confusion. 😉

Instructions
Before getting into the complicated process of making this delicious treat, we wanted to clarify that it’s fine to use either raw cashews or roasted and salted. It’s totally your call. Now, without further delay, instructions are as follows: toss everything into a blender…make sure the lid is on tight, and then turn that sucker on. You know what a smoothie is supposed to look like, so turn it off when it’s all done. Pour into a glass and sprinkle some nibs on the top for a tasty crunch.

Here’s a printable version for you to keep as your very own. Enjoy!!
