Cocoa-Coconut-Maca.

As always, this recipe is a reflection of a random collection of cravings and available ingredients.

Don't worry if you don't have everything - experiment! That's what cooking's about.

The smoothie turned out to be excellent. Maca adds a nutty flavor (in addition to b vitamins, essential amino acids, an aphrodesiac quality, improved mental clarity...). The tofu makes it creamy without the heaviness of a nut butter, and the orange adds a freshness and brightness.

Blend:
1 banana
1/2 blood orange
a small piece of tofu (for creaminess!)
1 c filtered water
2 tsp raw cacao powder
2 tsp maca powder
a good-sized pinch of dried coconut
a drop of molasses and 2 drops of honey
a drop of vanilla
a pinch of fine red sea salt

Enjoy!
