Quick Lesson on Superfoods in this smoothie:

Maca: This is the real star of the show. An Incan superfood, Maca root was given to warriors to increase stamina and endurance in battle. Subsequent modern studies back this up! Maca is also an adaptogen, which essential means it helps your body deal with stress better. It’s a very earthy flavor and I have found using a very tiny amount with cacao does the trick for flavor.

Goji: Studies have shown that these Chinese berries are linked with longevity.

Bee Pollen: This little superfood contains almost all the nutrients the body needs to thrive.

Cacao: Super dark chocolate is a probiotic because of how the cacao beans are fermented. They also contain serotonin!
