Maca Hormone-Balancing Smoothie

A creamy, dairy-free smoothie with fruity mango, banana, and maca, this paleo and vegan smoothie is rich in tasty ingredients that can give you a healthy start to the day! The maca helps support stamina and energy production as well as balancing your hormones. It is classed as a superfood as it is full of complex carbs, amino acids, fiber, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.
