Cacao Kapow!

IMG_1582 I am obsessed with this smoothie right now...........It is light, full of healthy superfoods and sustains me for hours!

I Love it!

With fast paced lifestyles, poor food choices and toxic environments it is easy to disconnect with the SIMPLICITY of nourishing yourself.  This smoothie contains 4 very powerful superfoods to help you radiate and feel great from within.

 

1. Maca Powder

  • Adaptogens, amino acids, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc
  • Immediately balances hormones, improves digestion, combats symptoms of fatigue, depression, and stress and helps you sleep better. 
  • Love its effect on the libido!

2. Raw Cacao

  • High in magnesium, boosts endorphins and activates the bliss chemicals in our brain
  • Antioxidants for a glowy complexion

3. Avocados

  • Rich in stress-fighting B vitamins and omegas, so beneficial for healthy glowing skin.

      4. Virgin Coconut Oil

  • Provides necessary building blocks for hormone production
  • Promotes weight loss by engaging your thyroid, which resets your metabolism
  • Reduces inflammation in the body
  •  Antiviral, antimicrobial and antibacterial properties keep your energy levels up and your immune system strong
