Berries and Maca Smoothie Recipe+ Hamilton Beach Blender Review 

maca powder smoothie

maca smoothie recipe

It always surprises me what my son can remember ! Late one night while getting ready for bed he is begging me for a smoothie and pancakes ! I promised him that I would make it in the morning. The first thing he says when he jumps on my bed the next morning ….

“Mom! Mom! Can you make me an extra fruity smoothie please!?”

So I threw this smoothie concoction together and it turned out great! It’s tangy from the OJ and filling with two bananas. The berries give it a tart taste and that Maca powder adds essential minerals and amino acids. I think  this smoothie is the opposite from the Banana , Kale and Hemp Smoothie I shared last week. The last one has a creamy and milky taste and this one is tart, tangy and fruity !

I am making smoothies even more now because I got a new blender !! ( insert happy dance) It’s not some crazy fancy and expensive one by any means but it WORKS. The blender I was using was so old it only worked half the time. I got it from a friend who didn’t want it anymore almost 10 years ago. It had a good run but now its added to our ever-growing garage sale  pile !

I got the Hamiliton Beach Power Elite Multi-Function Blender and I am SUPER happy with it. It breaks up ice quickly, blends smoothies very fast and it comes with an additional glass jar which I have not used yet but will soon. It is crazy how much faster I can make smoothies now with this new blender ! I bought it for myself as a “treat” because I have been working my butt off lately. Another plus of this blender is that it is a heavy  glass pitcher where as my last one was plastic. I try to use the least amount of plastic as possible in my kitchen and have been slowly replacing everything with a different material.  The pouring spout is pretty genius too. When pouring my smoothie into a glass it doesn’t come out in one chunk and splash everywhere now. It is very easy to clean and overall I am just very happy with this purchase ! Definitely recommend !

So what  is this  Maca powder anyways? It is from the Maca plant root which has been used as a source of nourishment and healing for thousands of years! This nutrient dense powder is packed with essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids. This powder helps fight fatigue, increases stamina and boosts libido. Sounds good to me !  We recently found this one and are really loving it. It doesn’t have any taste or gritty texture when added to smoothies and it is so easy to just add those amazing nutrients right in to meals. I definitely will be making and sharing many more maca smoothie recipes!

    I’ve never heard of Maca powder. I make shakes for my kids everyday so this would be great to add!

I wasn't going to share this photo because I hones I wasn't going to share this photo because I honestly hate the way I look. My hair is greasy and pulled back, my face puffy, my eyes with mom bags. We had run errands all day and I was ready to go home and plop down on the sofa. But my heart is full looking at this because I know this little boy won't stay little forever. And I'm sure my days of getting him to take a photo with me won't last forever, either. I really do cherish these moments more now than ever before, because I know how fast time flies. 
Even if you don't feel your best, take the picture mama. You won't regret it. ❤

If I had to chose one thing we can't live without If  I had to chose one thing we can't live without during our homeschool days, it would be our essential oils. 
Anyone else??🙋‍♀️ 🌿
My kiddo has THE hardest time focusing on anything, even when it's just me and him in a room. He is a huge fidgeter, twirling his hair, tapping his pencil, looking at the ceiling, looking outside, wiggling his feet... this is all part of his sensory stuff I have mentioned before. It takes a lot of effort for him to get through a lesson some days, even with plenty of movement breaks and standing instead of sitting or squeezing putty while he listens. 
The one thing that does seem to help a bit is our oils. I am SO happy to have found the Kid Safe line from @planttherapy . [#gifted] We use Hocus Focus in our diffuser almost every day and the Study Time roll-on blend is amazing. (I loove the way this one smells) 
Liam will ask for his oils if he is struggling and I only wish there was this option for kids in the 90s. Liam would definitely be the kid the Dr recommends medicating if he grew up when I did. ☹ I remember the boys that were just like Liam in my class in elementary school. They were always in trouble because they couldn't sit still for hours at a time! Now that I have a boy that would rather climb a tree than sit and do copywork, I get it. 
Do you have a wild child who doesn't want to sit still ? Have you tried essential oils? Tell me your favorite oils/blends !

This past week I have lost my wallet twice- once a This past week I have lost my wallet twice- once at a friend's house and then after meeting up with her to get it back, literally an hour later in Target. Then yesterday I dropped my phone in the snow while on a walk in the forest and searched frantically for it for about an hour.  Feeling defeated and tired, I gave up and walked home. Liam found it in .5 seconds of looking. ...
Taking this whole "pregnancy brain" thing to a whole new level, guys.
