This smoothie was inspired by my travels to Peru. I had the opportunity to visit the Andes Mountains, where maca is grown. I was immediately impressed by the energy and vitality of the people who live there. I learned that maca is a traditional food source that has been used for centuries to improve energy, strength, and fertility. I was eager to try maca for myself, so I brought some home with me. I started adding maca to my smoothies, and I quickly noticed a difference in my energy levels. I felt more alert, focused, and energized. I also noticed that I was able to recover from workouts more quickly. I'm not sure if it's the maca or the combination of all the ingredients in this smoothie, but it's definitely a recipe that I turn to when I need a boost of energy.
