Recipe Notes
I don't take maca as a supplement, but I keep maca powder stocked in my kitchen to add to smoothies, breakfast bowls or this hormone-balancing hot chocolate. Consuming it in the form of organic, raw powder rather than as a standardized pill is the best way to get maximum healing benefits.
