One of my favorite superfoods is maca. It’s the only one that I’ve consistently incorporated into my diet—daily—for years now. There are a few reasons for that.
One, if you’ve been following my journey for any amount of time, I suffered from over a decade-long eating disorder, in which I lost my menstrual cycle…for over 10 years. My doctor recommended maca, as it’s a superfood, well known for its hormone balancing benefits, and so I went out and purchased my first bag of maca, and started adding it to my daily smoothies.
One of the things that kept me consistently enjoying maca, is the taste! It doesn’t taste like dirt. Instead, I find it to be a malty, almost caramel-like taste, that adds a little something special to my smoothies.
Over the years I finally got my period back, and although I’m no doctor and cannot make any medical recommendations, I can encourage you to start incorporating maca into your daily life, because you just never know!
And as time went on, I started getting more creative with my maca use—adding it to my baked goods, homemade banana breads, popsicles, and the like!
