    I’m a little uneducated in this department, but working on it! Is maca a powder? Do you purchase online or find locally? Thank you!

      Great question! That is exactly what I love about health and nutrition … there is something new to be learned every day!

      Maca is a root vegetable from the radish family, and is available in either powder or capsule form. It has been shown to balance hormones, boost fertility, improve skin and hair health, and increase energy. I find that it has a bitter taste on its own, but it generally blends well in smoothies, especially those with a cacao (chocolate) base.

      I like Earth Circle Organics Maca Powder, which I purchase from Thrive Market. If you’re not already a member, you can get a free 30 day trial membership and save 25% off your first order by using this link: http://thrv.me/5BDGcG. I’ve found that they have the best prices on almost all of the items I stock in my pantry.

      If you give it a try, let me know what you think!

I'd love to hear what you think!
