~ BON APPETITE ~
MACA ROOT is magic! An ancient Peruvian SUPERFOOD cultivated from the Amazon and used for more than 1,500 years to increase energy, mental clarity, fertility and sexual ability. Because it is so rich in minerals it is used as a nutritional supplement to strengthen teeth, bones and muscles. Used in conjunction with a healthy diet it can significantly reduce inflammation leading to joint pain and arthritis. Between the mineral-rich cucumber and maca powder in this soup there are as many minerals (electrolytes) as in a bottle of Gatorade without all the added sugars. These electrolyes are needed to replace the fluids lost during everyday activities as well as with extended exercise… not to mention the fluids lost by drinking coffee and other dehydrating foods. If the body does get dehydrated it puts stress on the body and causes your body to run out of gas before your day is through.
MACA ROOT also naturally balances hormones and blood sugar levels which increases metabolism promoting fat and weight loss.
~ Great added to other soups/ smoothies or as a coffee replacement when stirred into green tea ~
