My Afternoon Snack


This is my go-to smoothie in the afternoon if I’m feeling a little tired and sluggish.  Maca is an endocrine adaptogen that has the ability to support healthy hormone production and is great for stamina and energy! Cinnamon is a blood sugar balancer and helps keep the sugar cravings away!
