How To Use The Morning Motivator

We recommend mixing The Morning Motivator into your favorite beverage, warm or cold. Water and juice work well, though almond milk and rice milk are especially popular. You can also add it to smoothies.

For many people, 1 tablespoon (9 g) of powder works well with 8 ounces of liquid. You can increase or decrease the amount based on your taste preferences.

It is also useful to note that 1 tablespoon (9 g) of The Morning Motivator contains approximately 1 teaspoon (3 g) of maca powder. If you normally use a larger daily serving of maca, you may choose to take additional maca separately.

Because this blend is intended for morning or daytime use, many customers prefer using it earlier in the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is The Morning Motivator raw or pre-cooked?

The ingredients in The Morning Motivator are raw except for the maca, which is gelatinized, or pre-cooked. We use gelatinized maca because many people find it easier to digest than raw maca.

Does The Morning Motivator replace my regular maca?

That depends on how much maca you usually use. One tablespoon of the blend contains about one teaspoon of maca. For some people that may cover their usual serving, while others may prefer to continue taking additional maca separately.

How many times a day can I take The Morning Motivator?

Because this blend is used as a food, serving frequency is largely a matter of personal preference. Many people enjoy it once or twice earlier in the day.

Does The Morning Motivator contain caffeine?

No. The Morning Motivator is completely caffeine-free.

What if I am sensitive to cacao or rich foods?

Individual tolerance can vary. If you are sensitive to cacao or other concentrated foods, start with a smaller amount and adjust gradually based on your own experience.

Can I use The Morning Motivator if I prefer less sweetness?

Yes. We also offer an unsweetened version of The Morning Motivator.

Can children use The Morning Motivator?

Because this is a whole-food blend, some families choose to serve smaller amounts. Individual preferences and tolerance may vary.

Are there any side effects?

As with any food, individual tolerance can vary. If you have concerns about any ingredient, start with a smaller amount.

Can I use The Morning Motivator with medications, herbs, or supplements?

If you use medications or have specific health concerns, consult a qualified healthcare professional before adding any new food product to your routine.

Safety

Maca root is classified as a food and is generally recognized as safe for consumption. It has been used traditionally for centuries as a natural food source in the Andes.

There are no known contraindications to taking maca root products. However, individuals who are taking medications for high blood pressure should consult their healthcare provider before use, as maca may have a mild blood pressure–lowering effect in some people.

Maca naturally contains iodine, which is important to note for those who are sensitive to iodine or have thyroid conditions requiring restricted iodine intake.

As with any food or supplement, individuals who are pregnant, nursing, or under medical supervision should consult a qualified healthcare professional before using maca.

    JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER

    Posted by James Justice on 12th Oct 2018

    Because I don't eat breakfast, I ordered this product when it was introduced because I wanted something light and nutritious to sustain me through my morning work. I enjoyed the taste and found after using it for a couple of months that it consistently did the job - bridging me through to lunch with energy to burn and no hunger pangs. So I reordered and plan to keep ordering. Great product!

    Good product

    Posted by Unknown on 22nd Sep 2018

    I have bought Maca at the local HFS and was accustomed to the taste. I use about 1 TB in coconut milk along with 1TB of avocado oil, mix well.

    My new coffee

    Posted by Unknown on 16th Sep 2018

    I was looking for an alternative to coffee and found this product. I weaned off of coffee slowly for three weeks and began substituting morning motivator blended with organic almond milk. I no longer miss coffee and ordered two more bags of this product and am very pleased.

    Great for afternoon slump!

    Posted by Carrie on 2nd Sep 2018

    I’ve been trying to limit caffeine to 1 coffee in the morning. But I have a newborn & the 2pm fog rolls in pretty intensely. I can brew a decaf espresso & add Morning Motivator to it, a little half & half and it’s just what I need to get through picking the kids up from school & fixing dinner. I get about 2-3 hours of spunk back but no issues with falling asleep at night like caffeine can sometimes cause. I also will sometimes add a couple droppers full of the Black Maca Root extract to my concoction, which helps too.

    Delicious Mix

    Posted by Unknown on 29th Aug 2018

    I needed something like this that wasn't protein or some other wheat based product. Having maca and cacao at the same time is perfect for my needs. I use separate maca supplement to have more maca since 'The morning motivator' has equal amounts of chocolate and can be overpowering.

    Love the Morning Motivator!

    Posted by Andrea on 24th Aug 2018

    I mix this with my red Maca and it tastes good and keeps me going. I will not be without these products! They will continue to be a part of my morning forever.

    Amazeballs!

    Posted by Malena Paz on 31st Jul 2018

    I love the morning motivator, I don't drink coffee so it's nice to have something in the morning that will give me energy and tastes good. It does have that maca taste but it's not too strong and mixes well with the other flavors in the mix. I do notice the difference when I take this compared to when I don't. I'm much more productive and alert. Love it!

    Has become my new "coffee" routine

    Posted by Rachelle on 24th Jul 2018

    I was excited when I got the email about this new product! I've had to quit drinking coffee and hadn't found anything to replace that I really looked forward to drinking. I tried it first just by itself in almond milk and wasn't a big fan. The second time I put it in coconut milk and that was definitely better, but still kind of "meh". Now my favorite way to drink it is in coconut milk with a bit of stevia, a pinch of salt and then "Bulletproof Coffee" style - 2 T of coconut oil and 2T of collagen or gelatin powder all blended with my stick blender. YUMMY and warm and creamy. Delicious! By far my favorite alternative to my morning cup of coffee. Plus, within a week of starting to drink it, I noticed that I was having more energy and some of my brain fog had cleared up! Woo-hoo!
