Add to the mix the amazing Maca, and at the same time that you will be boosting your immune system, you will be working on reducing some belly fat as well! A whole healthy package to get you ready for winter. The combination of pineapple and kiwi is amazing and you will never taste the Maca.

Maca is a root, considered as a super food and sometimes referred as a Peruvian ginseng. It grows in the Andes of central Peru, in harsh conditions and at very high altitudes — above 13,000 feet (4,000 meters). The Maca root is generally dried and consumed in powder form, but it’s also available in capsules and as a liquid extract.

Maca has an earthy and nutty flavour and if added to smoothies and juices the taste doesn’t become prevalent. It is known for its several beneficial properties: positive effect on hormone balance, energy levels, and a health booster for the immune system. Maca is very rich in calcium (higher level than milk) and is a very dense nutrient.
