OMG Superfoods is a health and wellness company that offers high-quality superfood products to help people achieve optimal health. One of their most popular products is maca powder, an adaptogenic root that is known for its energizing benefits. Over the years, maca has become a staple ingredient in adaptogen powders, superfood blends, and plant-based power snacks. However, beyond smoothies, maca powder can also be used in everyday cooking to enhance the taste and nutritional value of your meals.
Here are four ways to incorporate maca powder into your daily meals and get creative with this powerful superfood:
- Warm Drinks
Maca powder is not just for frosty, blended smoothies. Its butterscotch notes are even more desirable when served warm. Maca tastes best in drinks that have added milk or cream, so try it mixed into hot chocolate, a cozy latte, or even simply warm milk!
- Savory Soups
Maca is a root vegetable and goes nicely with ingredients of its own kind. If you're making soups with a lot of root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, or even tubers like sweet potatoes or yams, add in a little maca powder. It's best in blended soups, and a tablespoon will usually do the trick without being overpowering.
- Baked Goods
Maca powder looks like flour and can act like one, too (in small quantities). Swap 1-2 tablespoons of flour from your next batch of cookies, brownies, or bread with an equal amount of maca powder. The heat of baking won't affect maca's nutrition, and you'll gain a subtle nutty-caramel flavor, too.
- Breakfast Meals
Maca is an ideal ingredient to up your breakfast game due to its energizing qualities and warming taste. Stir into oatmeal or warm savory porridges; mix into your favorite nut milk; or whisk into a batch of pancakes or waffles for a nutritious and flavorful start to your day.
