You asked for them, and here they are! A collection of my favorite maca powder recipes. I love 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 glow-to and delicious ways to get more of it into your diet.
Maca is packed with all sorts of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins C, D, and E. All of which are critical for your skin health and even collagen creation. Maca also provides a nice age-fighting punch with its touted antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities.
There’s also some evidence to suggest that maca could help protect your skin from the sun, too. (1,2) And while it certainly cannot replace your sunscreen, a little bit of extra sun protection never hurts anyone, right?
Maca Powder Smoothie Recipes
One of my all-time favorite ways to drink maca powder is to put my Mighty Maca® Plus into a smoothie.
Just add one small scoop or two into your blender with your other smoothie ingredients, and you instantly multiply the nutritional and hormone-balancing power of any meal. Drink one of these every day and watch your skin begin to positively radiate.
But I know how challenging it can be to come up with great smoothie recipes that aren’t full of sugar but you also look forward to drinking. So I’ve rounded up my favorite and my community’s favorite smoothie recipes for you so you have them all in one place.
Maca Root Powder Recipes
While smoothies are one of my favorite foods and an ideal way to enjoy the skin-supportive benefits of maca root, they are certainly not the only food on my proverbial plate that includes maca.
Here are a few of my all-time favorite recipes with maca powder that you can enjoy any time of day!
This pesto is such a delicious and innovative way to get some maca into your diet. When you use it to top a nice pasture-raised piece of chicken, you have a lovely Keto-Green® meal that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.
Here’s another unexpected maca powder recipe. Guacamole! Avocados are another fabulous skin-loving food and they are a staple of my diet because they are yummy, full of healthy fats, and give my skin that “glow.” Give this recipe a try and you’ll never eat guac without a scoop of maca powder added to it again.
This is one of my top recipes using maca powder that I eat regularly. It’s incredibly filling and is such a fantastic way to enjoy a completely guilt-free desert. I make this every single week without fail. It’s that good.
