What is Maca?

The maca plant, known scientifically as Lepidium meyenii, is a cruciferous vegetable. It grows in the mountains of Peru, Peruvians have used maca for many years, for a variety of reasons – such as reducing stress and boosting libido.

Maca powder is a powerful superfood that can easily be added to smoothies, oatmlea, baked goods, salad dressings, and even lattes. It has a slightly earthy flavour but you can’t taste it when you add it to recipes.

How To Make A Vanilla Cinnamon Smoothie

This smoothie recipe is super easy to make, and you probably already have all of the ingredients!

INGREDIENTS NEEDED

Non-Dairy Milk: For these maca cookies I used macadamia nut milk, but you can use whatever you prefer.

Bananas: They are best frozen, as they create a creamy smoothie consistency.

Maca Powder: Duh! That’s what this recipe is all about. Here is my favourite Maca Powder.

Vanilla Extract: I used pure vanilla extract for an added bonus of flavour

Yogurt: Helps to create a creamy consistency

Hemp Hearts: Because we’re not adding protein powder to this recipe, hemp hearts offer an amazing protein punch. Just 1 tbsp has 3-4 grams of protein.

Cinnamon: Duh! It’s in the title.
