Notes
Maca powder is serious superfood with a wonderful malty flavor. I love it in vegan desserts and in smoothies. It’s an adaptogen, and though expensive, one small bag will last you a while. Maca is know for helping to balance hormones and reverse hypothyroidism. It is an endocrine adaptogen, which means it doesn’t contain any hormones, but rather has the nutrients necessary to support normal hormone production. Hemp seeds are high in protein, fiber, and they are exceptionally rich in two essential fatty acids, linoleic acid (Omega 6) and alpha-linolenic acid (Omega 3). They are a great addition to porridges, smoothies, and energy bites.
