Oh how we need this support at any age. Our hormones are what control us on every level. Our immune system, our intellect, our moods, our heart health, our temperature (are we hot or cold), our skin and every other functioning aspect of our incredible, magical machine we call our “bodies”adaptogen.
We’ve included adaptogens in this recipe to assist us with our fluctuating hormones and ‘adapt’ to what life throws at us. Adaptogenic herbs can recharge your adrenal glands, helping you to respond to stress and moderate our reaction to life experiences (yes, help us become less stressed-out).
Maca Superfood Smoothie Recipe

½ teaspoon ashwagandha (an adaptogen)
1 scoop of your favourite protein powder

¼ cup frozen berries (optional and your choice)
