You asked for it and here it is! A collection of my favorite maca powder recipes. I like to put maca in everything – breakfast, lunch and dinner. Because while maca can be a powerful ally on your menopause journey for its hormone-balancing benefits, I also love the way it makes my skin look and feel.
That’s right, maca packs a serious punch when it comes to your skin.
Let’s take a quick look at why it’s my bright and delicious way to get more of it into your diet.
Maca powder skin benefits
Maca is packed with all kinds of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins C, D, and E. All of which are critical for your skin’s health and even collagen production. Maca also packs a nice anti-aging punch with its touted antioxidant and anti-inflammatory abilities.
There is also some evidence to suggest that maca could also help protect your skin from the sun. (1,2) And while it certainly can’t replace your sunscreen, a little extra sun protection never hurt anyone, right?
Maca Powder Smoothie Recipes
One of my favorite ways to drink maca powder is to put mine on Mighty Maca® Plus in a smoothie.
Just add a small scoop or two to your blender with your other smoothie ingredients and you’ll instantly multiply the nutritional and hormonal power of any meal. Drink one of these every day and watch your skin start to glow positively.
But I know how hard it can be to find great smoothie recipes that aren’t full of sugar but that you can’t wait to drink. So, I’ve rounded up my favorites and my community’s favorite smoothie recipes for you, so you can have them all in one place.
