Organic Maca Blends From The Maca Team
Posted by The Maca Team on 21st Oct 2024
You’ve probably noticed by now that we make a point of stressing the fact that most of our maca products are just that - pure organic maca root with no additives or fillers. We believe it’s essential for our buyers to know exactly what they’re getting when they purchase from The Maca Team. Odds are, if you’ve made the decision to add maca to your diet it’s because you’re giving thought to the nutritional value of what you consume. Because maca is a wildly nutritious superfood, and our Fair Trade, non-GMO maca products are packed full of vitamins, minerals, and free fatty acids.
That said, we do offer some maca blends combining our vegan maca root products with other healthy ingredients that are sure to boost your energy and your immunity. So let’s take a look at two of our more unique maca products: Maca Blue and The Morning Motivator, our maca coffee substitute.
What is Maca Blue?
What is spirulina? This cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, has been safely consumed for centuries in countries around the world. It’s understandable that you might balk at ingesting something with the word “bacteria” in it. But spirulina can be considered a probiotic, or a healthy bacteria that can aid in digestion, immunity, and gut health. The Harvard Medical School recognizes spirulina as a good source of beta-carotene, various minerals, and gamma linoleic acid, which is an essential fatty acid. And in combination with maca root in our Maca Blue blend, it becomes a veritable powerhouse of nutrition.
A number of studies suggest that spirulina “may increase the production of antibodies, infection-fighting proteins, and other cells that improve immunity and help ward off infection and chronic illnesses, such as cancer.” According to the Mount Sinai Health Network, amino acids make up 62% of spirulina, and it’s a rich source of protein and other nutrients.
There are numerous reported health benefits associated with consuming spirulina, which may include improving blood lipid profiles and lowering your cholesterol, among other things.
That makes Maca Blue a delicious and colorful way to add maca and the incredible boost of spirulina to your diet.
What is Maca Coffee?
“Maca coffee” is something of a misnomer - in fact, our Morning Motivator blend doesn’t contain coffee at all. Instead, it’s made from a combination of some key wholesome ingredients that work to keep you powered through the day with the morning jitters and mid-afternoon crash you might experience with traditional caffeinated beverages.
Available in both sweetened and unsweetened blends, maca coffee is a great way to get your daily dose of maca in the morning without the jitters and afternoon crash you might expect from a traditional caffeinated beverage. Both versions contain only a few organic and certified vegan ingredients to create the perfect morning pick-me-up.
The Unsweetened Morning Motivator combines tri-color gelatinized maca powder with raw cacao and raw mezquite for a delicious flavor profile that’s packed with antioxidants. This trio can contribute toward balancing your hormones and providing you with sustained energy, and can be “brewed” simply by mixing with hot water or in combination with your favorite milk.
Our Sweetened Morning Motivator is a little more complex, but just as good for you. In addition to the ingredients in our unsweetened blend, it contains raw coconut sugar for low-glycemic sweetness and raw lucuma powder for whole food carbs and a bit of tartness.
Why Try Maca Blends?
Why not? While we’re most proud of our whole maca products like our maca powders and our liquid maca extracts, our maca blends are a fun way to mix things up.
Whether you’re purchasing one of our pure maca products or a superfood blend, everything available on our website is vegan, Fair Trade, gluten-free, and 100% Certified Organic by the USDA and CCOf. We guarantee that your order contains only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients available.
