I am positively in love with the flavors and properties of maca root (Lepidium meyenii) . . .

Maca is a cruciferous vegetable (and adaptogen!) native to the Andes Mountains whose roots when dried and pulverized can provide the following benefits when ingested:

• mood boosting

• energy boosting

• fertility boosting

• hormone balancing (particularly for those that deal with estrogen-dominance)

• libido boosting

• fine tunes memory and focus

• provides a good source of vitamin C & iron

Throw in some raisins, oats, sunflower & pumpkin seeds and cinnamon and you have yourself one nutrient-dense little bar full of delicious flavors and textures that makes a great breakfast, snack or healthy treat!

Enjoy. xo.
