I have struggled with a lot of common issues that others have. Some of these struggles include-depression, anxiety, and fatigue. I am always reading and looking up natural remedies for things because I am not a fan of prescription medicine (unless it's a last resort). In my research I kept coming back to Maca Root. I couldn't believe all of the excellent reviews I read on the plant. What is maca root? It is a relative of the radish. It is found in Central Peru in the Andes Mountains.  Here is just a handful of things that the Maca Root can help with:

Maca Root Benefits

1. Chronic Fatigue (increases engergy!)

2. Increase Fertility

3. Memory Improvement

4. Performance (Athletic & Sexual)

5. Increase Sexual Desire and assist with Erectile Dysfunction

6. Help with pre and menopausal symtoms such as hot flashes and night sweats

7. Lower Anxiety and Depression Symptoms

Wow! That seems like a lot of great stuff this Maca Root can help with. Maca Root comes in a vitamin/pill form as well as in a powder form that you can mix with food. As I got reading about Maca Root I realized that it sounded very familiar to me. I pulled my bag of Shakeology and realized that it was one of the main ingredients!! Here, I have been already taking this amazing Super Food!! So, if you would like to try this Maca Root let me know how it works for you. If you want to already have it included in a great meal replacement health shake message me about how you can purchase Shakeology.

Chia Seed Breakfast Bowl

This is a good recipe to use to make a Chia Seed Breakfast Bowl. I found the original recipe here and modified it to my own liking. Obviously mine didn't turn out as pretty, but it still tasted pretty darn good.


Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients:
Chia mixture
4 tbsp chia seeds
1 – 1.25 cups almond milk (it’s great made with Homemade Almond Milk)
2 small bananas, chopped small
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
two pinches of cinnamon

Toppings:
Couple pinches of cinnamon
Raw Organic Honey

1. Mash bananas in a medium-sized bowl. Stir in chia seeds. Whisk in the almond milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until combined. Place in fridge overnight to thicken.

3. In the morning, place your desired amount of chia pudding into a bowl. (Note: at this point, you can blend your chia pudding if a smooth texture is desired, but I don’t bother). You can add more almond milk if you want to thin it out in the morning. Or, if it’s too thin, add more chia seeds to thicken it up. Add a pinch of cinnamon and drizzle Raw Organic Honey on top to serve.
