Maca chocolate smoothie
The maca smoothie is one of my favorite superfood recipes. It’s a Peruvian plant.
It is of the same family as broccoli, cabbage, and kale.
It has an earthy flavor; this is why I find that it pairs very well with chocolate.
Maca is also rich in health benefits.
This smoothie is super tasty, highly nutritious, and helps improve symptoms of hormonal imbalance, anxiety, low energy, and perimenopause symptoms.

Note
Reviews of multiple studies have found evidence suggesting that maca could improve libido (sexual drive) and help reduce sexual dysfunction in women who take any sort of antidepressant.
Additionally, some reviews suggest it helps fertility in men.
Maca contains flavonoids, which may reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. It also promotes natural antioxidants in the body.
Moreover, a study found that postmenopausal women who took two daily tablets containing maca experienced reduced hot flashes and night sweats.
