The sunny afternoons around here call for something energizing -- a Vanilla Maca Cooler.

I admit … I don't like the taste of maca by itself.

I do like it mixed into yogurt… but sometimes I don't feel like yogurt.

Sometimes I just want to sip on something cool and refreshing. The sunny afternoons around here call for something energizing.

Welcome, Vanilla Maca Cooler!

With vanilla, a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg, a raw egg yolk for sustained energy, and some raw milk, this is the perfect recipe for running errands, reading a book, or kicking back on your front porch.

What is maca, you ask? Read here for more information on maca and other herbs for women.

Looking For Maca?

You'll want to seek out high-quality organic maca that's as fresh as possible, and packaged to preserve nutritional quality.

At Traditional Cooking School, we've investigated maca sources, and we're really excited about The Maca Team‘s maca because it's “beyond organic”. Their Peruvian farms (with farmers paid fair wages) follow traditional agricultural methods such as giving the land rest and using natural fertilization methods. This is good for the land and great for the food that's grown on it.

Also, their maca is fresh! They process and sell small batches from only the current year's harvest, so you receive it with a few months of it being harvested. (As opposed to larger producers who move it in huge shipping containers, where your maca could be sitting around for 2 years before you actually get it to eat it.)

Finally, their raw maca isn't heated above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, therefore preserving the enzymes and nutrients. (They have a pre-cooked gelatinized maca for those with a sensitive stomach.) Then it's packaged in foil-lined double-sealed opaque bags or sealed amber jars to ensure that the maca's potency isn't reduced by light, humidity, or oxygen.

The Maca Team‘s maca is simply premium quality, and we can tell by how much better we feel when using this maca than other brands.

About Tracey Vierra

Tracey has been eternally blessed with a Godly husband to share her days; five beautiful, healthy, witty children who never cease to amaze her; a comfortable place to live amidst the hills and valleys of middle Tennessee; all while being surrounded by neighbors who cluck, crow, moo, chirp, buzz, and allow them to enjoy God's creation. You'll find her reading or attempting to make some new concoction in the kitchen, usually with a baby on one hip and at least one other little one mixing, stirring, or tasting. Tracey and her family offer traditional prepared sourdough and gluten-free cereals at Hill and Hollow.
