    Give your maca banana smoothie an extra kick with a subtle coffee flavor. Maca in itself gives you an energy boost, so you can use decaf if you’d like; it’s really for the flavor rather than the caffeine. Use the lesser amount of the maca powder if you’re new to using it. This makes about two 12-ounce smoothies.

      This was good! I used 2 teaspoons maca, half of a banana plus stevia, spinach, and leftover cooled coffee instead. Thank you! Like a healthy frappacino!
