After feeling super sluggish from recent work travel while also increasing my running mileage, I was in search of a caffeine-free energy boost. Enter maca root powder. Maca is an adaptogenic superfood with tons of health benefits, including boosting your mood and energy.
By adding maca root powder, this Energizing Pink Smoothie is both delicious and great for boosting giving you that extra oomph when you need it. I also added hemp seeds to this recipe to provide another protein boost – great for rebuilding muscle tissues and increasing satiety.
Give this smoothie a go for breakfast when you know you have a long day ahead!
