This smoothie is one of my favorites! Maca is an adaptogenic herb with a nutty flavor. Something all adaptogens have in common is that they can help the body manage stress, which is great for athletes like you.

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

½ frozen banana

¼ cup frozen raspberries

Big handful of spinach 

2 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp nut butter

1 tsp maca powder (optional)

Unsweetened almond milk

Blend all until you reach a thick, smooth consistency.

Top with slivered almonds and coconut flakes.
