What’s else to love for your after 50 fitness? Better than a cup of dairy yogurt after a workout, you can avoid the dairy sensitivity and unpleasant mucus or belly bloat that can come with dairy.

What’s maca? It’s an adaptogen – meaning it supports natural hormone balance and it adapts to your need. If you need a little cortisol optimization help, you’ll get it. It’s also been something I’ve used for years to boost endurance and stamina for longer endurance training. Inside the Smoothie Bowl book I share insight to almost two dozen ways to boost your smoothie nutrition. In addition to the green veggies and antioxidants from fruit you can pack that smoothie with more nutrients than you might get in other meals – in far less time. Simple nutrition for your flip.
