Benefits of Cacao and Maca
Health Benefits
Cacao and maca have a lot of benefits, including antioxidants.
Antioxidants can help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer.
Mental Health
Maca comes from the cruciferous family of vegetables, which includes broccoli, cabbage, and kale. For improving moods, reducing anxiety and depression, and improving memory and learning, it is worth trying. The cacao and maca drink make it easy to get the benefits in a great tasting way.
Vitamins & Minerals
Cacao and maca are nutrient-dense foods that provide the body with essential vitamins and minerals. Cacao is rich in iron, magnesium, and zinc, while maca contains high vitamin C, copper, and potassium levels. Mixing these ingredients with your diet will ensure you get the daily recommended amounts of these vital nutrients.
Cacao’s benefits are also impressive. They include fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and many experts believe it reduces the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and inflammation.
Brain Health
Cacao contains theobromine compound, which enhances dopamine levels in the brain and improves overall mood and energy. Maca is an adaptogen, meaning it helps reduce stress and fatigue and promotes a feeling of vitality.
Maca contains glucosinolates, which protect the brain and its functions. One powder fortifies the brain and protects it, improving mental clarity.
Cacao contains a high amount of flavonoids, which help improve brain health.
Exercise Benefits
Both cacao and maca provide several benefits for exercise. The flavanols in Cacao help improve blood flow to your muscles, while maca increases endurance and reduces muscle fatigue. Cacao and maca work quite well as either a pre-workout or post-workout drink.
Heart Disease
Cacao is rich in flavonoids, which reduce the risk of heart disease. Maca may also help lower blood pressure and improve cholesterol levels. Together, these ingredients can support cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Digestion
Maca powder also benefits digestive health. It contains high levels of fiber, which supports quick digestion. Cacao powder is known to have prebiotic effects, meaning it helps stimulate digestive bacteria levels in your system.

First, gather your ingredients. For this recipe, you will need the following:

Start by heating the milk in a small saucepan (only if you plan to enjoy it warm; otherwise, just pour it into a mixing bowl). Make sure the milk is warm but not boiling.
Next, blend your milk with the maca and cocoa powder in a blender. Then add your sweetener of choice, vanilla extract, and spices of choice and blend until smooth.
Taste the drink along the way and adjust as needed. You can add more powder, sweetener, or spice to taste.
