Chocolate Maca Superfood Oatmeal
I am a big fan of the flavor and health benefits of maca. It has a nutty butterscotch/caramel flavor. Not only do I love the flavor of maca, I love the benefits I receive from maca. Maca is a superfood that is famous for its energy-boosting adaptogens. It balances hormones, boosts fertility and is high in amino acids and nutrients.

Chocolate Maca Superfood Oatmeal - the perfect energizing breakfast! Click To TweetI have recently found a few products that include maca and have been loving adding them to my oatmeal in the morning for an added nutritional boost! These maca maple superfood cashews add the perfect flavor and crunch on top of my oatmeal. They are also delicious enjoyed alone as a snack.
Another product that contains maca that I am loving lately is this cinnamon red maca sprouted almond spread. I drizzle it on top of my oats and it adds an amazing texture and flavor once stirred in. For 20% of this spread enter code LEAHSPLATE at checkout 🙂
I also added a tablespoon of chocolate maca protein into my oats while cooking them. This flavor went perfectly with the toppings. I’ve become obsessed with adding this protein into my oatmeal and smoothies lately. It has a creamy texture with no ‘fake’ aftertaste. This protein is organic, raw, gluten-free, vegan, soy-free and non-gmo. There are no artificial ingredients.
