What Is Maca Coffee?

Maca coffee is a term often used for maca-based drinks prepared as an alternative to traditional coffee. The Morning Motivator does not contain coffee beans. Instead, it combines gelatinized maca with cacao and traditional plant ingredients to create a rich drink that can be prepared much like coffee or cocoa.

The maca in The Morning Motivator is our Tri-Color Maca, made from yellow, red and black maca roots grown in the Peruvian Andes.

What’s Inside The Morning Motivator?

The Morning Motivator contains just five ingredients:

  • Gelatinized Tri-Color Maca Root Powder – a blend of yellow, red and black Peruvian maca roots.
  • Raw Cacao Powder – adds rich cacao flavor and naturally occurring cacao compounds.
  • Raw Coconut Sugar – provides mild sweetness.
  • Raw Mesquite – contributes a naturally nutty, slightly caramel-like flavor.
  • Raw Lucuma – adds a subtle fruity sweetness and rounds out the blend.

There are no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners added.

A Coffee Alternative Without Coffee Beans

Woman enjoying The Morning Motivator maca coffee alternative
The Morning Motivator can be prepared as a warm maca-based alternative to traditional coffee.

Many people enjoy the ritual of a warm morning drink but want something different from traditional coffee. The Morning Motivator provides that same kind of simple preparation using maca, cacao and other plant ingredients instead of coffee beans.

It can be mixed with water or plant milk and enjoyed warm or cold. Its cacao-forward flavor also makes it a good option for customers who find plain maca powder too earthy on its own.

The Morning Motivator Is:

  • A caffeine-free alternative to coffee, tea, or energy drinks
  • A flavorful way to introduce maca to people who do not enjoy plain maca powder
  • An easy way to add more maca to smoothies, warm drinks, and recipes
  • A convenient drink option for mornings, workdays, and travel
  • A smooth cacao-based blend that mixes well with plant milks and smoothies

Who Often Enjoys The Morning Motivator?

  • People looking for a caffeine-free morning beverage
  • Anyone who enjoys cacao-based drinks
  • Busy professionals and students
  • Travelers
  • Families looking for a simple whole-food beverage option
  • People who want a convenient way to include maca in their daily routine

What Does Maca Coffee Taste Like?

The Morning Motivator has a smooth, mildly sweet cacao flavor with earthy maca notes and hints of caramel and nuttiness from mesquite, lucuma and coconut sugar.

It is less bitter than traditional coffee and works especially well with almond milk, oat milk, rice milk and other plant-based beverages.

How to Use The Morning Motivator

A common serving is about 1 tablespoon (9 g) mixed with approximately 8 ounces of liquid. Adjust the amount according to your preferred flavor and consistency.

Some easy ways to use it include:

  • Mix into warm plant milk for a simple maca coffee alternative.
  • Blend into cold plant milk and serve over ice.
  • Add to smoothies.
  • Mix into oatmeal or warm cereal.
  • Use in cacao-based recipes and desserts.

One 9 g serving contains approximately 3 g of maca powder.

  5. Mrs.Mitchell (verified owner) –

    Love; Love; Love!!!!!

  6. carrie brz (verified owner) –

    I usually order 3 bags of Morning Motivator at a time so I’ve got some reserves in storage. Well, I must’ve dropped the ball on my ordering routine because I went to replenish my kitchen container and found none left in the pantry! ? I drink a coffee alternative from Rasa called Rasa Cacao and Morning Motivator has always been the perfect compliment to that morning mug. A scoop of Morning Motivator and froth it up and it’s so delish! Well, I found myself suffering through almost a week without my precious Morning Motivator and boy, did I miss it. It gives such nice body to my drink and really enhances the flavor so nicely – I’ll never screw up my reorder schedule again!

  7. Cat (verified owner) –

    I LOVE the Morning Motivator – I mix it with a steamed nut milk and a shot of decaf coffee. It really gives me a beautiful energy boost without the jitters plus it’s super yummy. I’m addicted!

  8. Marcy (verified owner) –

    I bought this to try for a pre-workout drink, and it’s been great. It gives you some energy, but not too much. Does not make me jittery like some pre-workout drinks; very balanced. My husband started taking it, and he really likes it too. The tastes good as well!
    On a side note, I’ve been taking Red Maca for years and am very pleased with the results! I am 54 years old and it’s been one of the best supplements I’ve used. The Maca Team supplies great, organic products!

  9. Chris Schultz (verified owner) –

    Absolutely love the morning motivator. Stopped drinking coffee, and drink this exclusively in the AM now.

  10. Lisanne (verified owner) –

    Initially I bought the red maca powder for my shakes. Then started solely on The Morning Motivator. Love love love the taste! And saw results almost immediately. Definitely a mood “uplifter” and may body feels energized but warm and fuzzy… lol .. I drink it sometimes twice a day (even at night). I’ve recommended it to all my friends. Lifetime supporter for sure!!

  11. Timothy (verified owner) –

    Best coffee substitute I have found.

  12. Ron McCauley (verified owner) –

    Tried this for the first and it’s in my coffee every morning. Great taste love ut

  13. Marie (verified owner) –

    I find it hard to limit myself on this stuff. It’s really good and hits the spot for a treat in the morning. I don’t stay consistent with taking things daily very easily, but I really look forward to taking this daily. It’s a daily treat.

  14. Clint Trewin (verified owner) –

    I think it tasted great and would buy it again. That being said I do not think its a 1 to 1 coffee replacement. Maybe if you only drink coffee occasionally but I drink one cup a day and just didnt feel it gave me the same energy/alertness that coffee does.

  15. Rachael Schlecht (verified owner) –

    My husband and I both love having this in the morning to start our day off right. It gives us the energy we’re seeking and the taste is phenomenal. We add Cayenne Pepper, Ground Cinnamon, Ground Ginger, Pink Himalayan Salt and Raw Honey to taste and oh my word…the drink is ADDICTING.

  16. Koshari Pledger –

    Tastes soo good! I love this company and their products!

  17. Rachel A Goclawski (verified owner) –

    Very few satisfying and enjoyable things to drink instead of coffee – this great-tasting blend is my go-to!

  18. Brenda Hibbs (verified owner) –

    The best coffee replacement ever! Love the chocolatey taste.

  19. Patricia Clark (verified owner) –

    I didn’t know quite what to expect, some superfoods are quite bland and tasteless. The Morning Motivator was just fantastic -chocolatey, full taste (even just with hot water and a small amount of milk)and a joy to drink. I have chosen no sweetener next time to try the difference. Thank-you Maca Team :)

  20. Lorrie Workman (verified owner) –

    I love the morning motivator. It has just just what i need to get my day started. I love it

  21. Matthew Smilo (verified owner) –

    What I really enjoy is the addition of maca to the product. I’m happy to be getting a nice dose of maca with each serving. The flavor is wonderful, too. I really like the cacao. I mix it with almond milk and it gives me a boost for my day. I’m very pleased with the Morning Motivator. Thank you!

  22. Heidi (verified owner) –

    Wish it came with a scoop

  23. Heidi (verified owner) –

    I love it! I hardly drink coffee anymore. I have energy all day long.

  24. Kirk (verified owner) –

    Morning Motivator drink mix mini review: As I mentioned in another review I have extensive professional & personal experience with maca. All of my maca comes from The Maca Team due to its very high quality. The Morning Motivator is a very good base for the highest quality maca drink. I drink it alone or with many combinations including some coffee if the mood hits me. It mixes well enough & the ingredients are top shelf in quality. A significant upgrade for your body vs coffee/caffeine. K

  25. Ron (verified owner) –

    I had no improvement at all. To add in the nastiest taste, it is easy to say that I will never order this product again.

  26. Kelsie (verified owner) –

    I habitually drink coffee every morning. I have for as long as I can remember. Before this product, my mornings felt bland. Coffee no longer felt enjoyable. It became a necessity and even some days a chore. This product gave my coffee that extra kick it needed. Not only do my energy levels last longer but now my mornings feel a bit more colorful.

    I keep my coffee very simple, sugar and half & half. Now I throw in 1/2 tbsp of TMM and my inner child smiles. Adding TMM makes my coffee tastes like hot chocolate…caffeinated hot chocolate? Yes, please! If I’m not in a rush and can enjoy my cup I’ll add a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. This is a game changer for all the coffee lovers out there, especially if you want to dial back a little on the bitterness.

    It doesn’t stop there though. Not only has my coffee transformed, but my appetite has increased. I will say that the first day I used TMM, I got very nauseous. I normally skip breakfast so I don’t usually get nauseous if I don’t eat. However, this day I have never felt so sick. After I ate, the nausea went away and it’s no longer a problem. Still, I highly recommend you eat something beforehand. I want to note that it took about two weeks for me to start developing an appetite. Since adding TMM into my diet every day, I’m able to maintain and grow my appetite. TMM has also improved my mood a lot more, too. I highly recommend giving this a shot even just for a few weeks to see how it works for you.

    Excellent product!!

  28. Marc Werth (verified owner) –

    Loving the product. Trying to ease of caffeine. I mix 1 scoop with hot chocolate.

  29. Dianne Olvera (verified owner) –

    We have been drinking “The Morning Motivator” for a couple of years now and can’t live without it! We have more positive energy and feel the hormone support is also evident after we drink it. Awesome product! Thanks!

  30. Charlene (verified owner) –

    Great for a pick me up and if you add your favourite sweetener it becomes a luxury hot drink! So far I have noticed improved cognitive function, general sense of calm and an ability to assess situations quickly!

  31. Jampa (verified owner) –

    I’m so happy a gave this product a try! I recently decided to cutback on my coffee intake and tried switching to dandelion root as well as another popular (but a bit expensive) alternative. I am delighted to say The Morning Motivator beats the others out by miles! And the price is amazing! I’ve been purchasing my maca products from the Maca Team since 2018. Very happy with the quality of their products. And extremely happy I tried the Morning Motivator. The taste is delicious and nutritious. I even found myself not lacking energy in the afternoons! Great product! Highly recommend it! Thanks Maca Team!

  32. Judith Hendrickson (verified owner) –

    I have been drinking the Morning Motivator blend every morning for the past three years. I LOVE the way it tastes. The reason I ordered it was to test their claim that it can reduce hot flashes. After two weeks of this daily hot drink in the morning, it did just what they said it would! My hot flashes were reduced by at least 75%. I stock up on this maca blend now :)

  33. Martha (verified owner) –

    Wonderful addition to my morning coffee. Good grounding energy

  34. Nancy Severns (verified owner) –

    Enjoy this mixed with coffee and oatmilk! Makes a tasty treat mid-morning!

  35. carrie brzezinski (verified owner) –

    I love this stuff! I drink a coffee alternative since I’ve become intolerant to caffeine and coffee bothers my stomach. Adding The Morning Motivator with its subtle sweetness makes for a delicious morning treat and gibes me the boost I need for the day.

  36. CarlisleEleySr (verified owner) –

    Seems to be working very well. The effects so far are positive. The taste is good.

  37. Elise (verified owner) –

    This product works well with almond milk. I add a little stevia and use a small whisk to incorporate and it makes a frothy top. I heard about the products thru Ask Wardee.

  38. Jenna (verified owner) –

    Perfect for a treat instead of coffee or mix in or have it later in the day. Its not too sweet, just right.

  39. Sheryl Teresa (verified owner) –

    This the best product I found that keeps my hormones balanced and tastes great

  40. Walter Jordan (verified owner) –

    I love this product. I make a banana smoothie with Orange juice and old fashioned Quaker Oats. I then add a spoon of the MACA morning Motivator. It has become a morning and afternoon meal. I am energized during the day time and sleep well at night.

  41. Michelle Critchfield (verified owner) –

    Has a yummy taste and flavor. I only wish the product came with recipes.

  42. Kristen Willmarth (verified owner) –

    I have adrenal fatigue and a hormone imbalance . What a surprise that my ND just now recommended taking maca as a part of my supplemental regiment after I’ve been using Morning Motivator since November. I can really tell a difference in how I feel when I drink it in the mornings. It’s almost like I can’t wait to finish it to get going. Love this stuff!

  43. Walter (verified owner) –

    Wonderful product!
    I mix it with water and Ice using a blender. It taste delicious. It keeps me full, alert, energetic and at the same time relaxed and calmed.

  44. Kathy Dickson (verified owner) –

    I just add hot water and enjoy a cup every morning.

  45. Shelley Renee Hutson (verified owner) –

    I’m loving this in place of coffee.

  46. Dianne (verified owner) –

    We have been drinking The Morning Motivator for about a year now and love it. Just the right amount of energy boost to keep us happy and motivated to tackle the day! Great product and great tasting as well!

  47. LUIS OSORIO (verified owner) –

    Tastes great!

  48. Kaylan (verified owner) –

    This stuff is delicious. Just barely sweet and perfectly rich. Good enough that I look forward to having it at least as much as coffee and a great. Substitute!

  49. Alexis (verified owner) –

    Absolutely love this product! It’s so tasty and is the start to my every morning. The morning doesn’t feel complete without it. I look forward to drinking it every morning and it doesn’t make me feel worse after drinking it like coffee does.

  50. Maria R. (verified owner) –

    Since we have started using this product, we have felt amazing. Within a week my husband’s blood sugar began to get better. My hair began growing like crazy and believe it or not, my eye sight improved. The monthly cycle symptoms have decreased tremendously, energy and mental clarity is great; among all the other benefits. Why wouldn’t you add this amazing product to your daily routine???

  51. jennifer donovan (verified owner) –

    Morning Motivator has helped me ditch coffee! I enjoy a cup each morning. Not only does it taste amazing, I have better energy levels and sustained mental focus, without the jitters. Hormone balancing effects of maca are another added benefit! Thanks for a quality product.

  52. Joseph Shelton (verified owner) –

    I like the taste but I have not noticed any increase in energy or feeling better.

  53. Emily (verified owner) –

    My husband and I love this mixed in cold non-dairy milk. Great flavor almost like chocolate milk but not as insanely sweet.

  54. Kathy Dickson (verified owner) –

    Thanks for this product.

  57. Bill Haller (verified owner) –

    I like it for an afternoon treat with milk for an energy boost. I love the taste.

  58. Tiff (verified owner) –

    The Morning Motivator is not overly sweet & is ground finely like powdered sugar. It mixes well in hot or cold milk/water & leaves a bit of froth on top. I’ve been using it & red maca for about a month for fertility benefits & have also noticed my breath has changed as well as my hydration since the maca is replacing coffee.

  59. S Rogers (verified owner) –

    First time trying and so glad I did! I was looking for an alternative to coffee. The Morning Motivator ia a real treat! I received within 2 days of ordering. It contains the purest ingredients and it comes from an honest company (with beautiful, happy people!), which only makes it tastier! I will reserve this for a daily treat and enjoy every sip. It is currently cold and snowy and a cup of this warmed me right up…now back to work I go!

  60. Athena (verified owner) –

    The name suits it very well because I’m always excited to get out of bed to make it and there’s so many different ways to make drinks out of it. Also the only thing to wing me off coffee!

  61. Carrie (verified owner) –

    I love this stuff! I add it to my decaf coffee or to my herbal coffee alternative and it gives it a great cocoa flavor while getting some maca into my diet. I try never to run out or else!

  62. Maria Briones (verified owner) –

    I love this product. It always give me energy in the am/pm. I always used it on my smoothies and food. The best

  63. Krizia (verified owner) –

    I really have been enjoying the Morning Motivator! This is my first Maca product and I love the taste! I don’t drink coffee at all so this is a great substitute. I’ve taken it every morning and I think it has helped regulate my hormones too! I have already repurchased and intend to continue to purchase more!

  64. Bill Haller (verified owner) –

    I am enjoying this product very much. I look forward to my “morning motivator”. I plan to continue using it. Thanks very much.

    It’s perfect for the morning to motivate your day
    And perfect to have in the evening to have a cozy hot drink before you go to bed

    The sweetened and unsweetened are well balanced in flavor and taste

  66. Vanessa Orellana (verified owner) –

    I make this every morning with oat milk and seamoss and it tastes like chocolate milk ! It fills me and gives me just the right amount of energy

  67. Sonya Gaddy (verified owner) –

    I was surest the taste. It kinda tastes like hot chocolate with no sugar. I haven’t really noticed a difference so far, but I like the taste.

  68. Carrie Brzezinski (verified owner) –

    I love adding this to my morning hot beverage! I drink a coffee alternative (Rasa) and add a scoop of Morning Motivator to it and give it a quick whirrrr with my immersion blender. Makes a nice mocha-like treat.

  69. Danielle (verified owner) –

    The idea of this product is great. However, it doesn’t fully dissolve and you’re left with a thick gross bottom with all the powder and it’s overly sweet. I’m not one to want hot chocolate for breakfast and that’s essentially what it is. Just not what it was advertised as. I also didn’t feel any benefits taking it consistently m.

  70. Dianne (verified owner) –

    Great product – tastes great and give me energy in the morning. This is the second package I ordered and will order more in the future.

  71. Kimberley (verified owner) –

    The morning motivator has a great taste. So glad I purchased it.

  72. Victoria Herring (verified owner) –

    I like to use this as my breakfast = with whole or 2% milk, it’s like a milk chocolate smoothie in a way. = fills me up and tastes good and easy to make.

  73. Erin Lennon (verified owner) –

    Awesome product, very versatile.

  74. Tom Burkhart (verified owner) –

    So far so good. Hope it is as beneficial as claimed.

  75. Mike Gerrity (verified owner) –

    I started using Morning Motivator after completing a cleanse to reset my diet and nutrition. I stopped drinking coffee and started adding the motivator to my morning breakfast smoothie. I’ve found it to be just what they call it, the Morning Motivator

  76. Deidre (verified owner) –

    I love the morning motivator! It tastes so delicious! I look forward to drinking it every morning! Blends well and definitely gives me a boost of energy!

  77. Deidre (verified owner) –

    I love the taste. Reminds men of a rich delicious hot chocolate. I look forward to drinking it everyday. It mixes well and I feel more energized and have a better overall mood throughout the day.

  78. Cookie Harford (verified owner) –

    Excellent product! I add a heaping tsp to my tea in the morning. Good taste but needs to be stirred before each drink to ensure it’s not all settled on the bottom of your cup. I have been using this product for a couple of months. I have noticed that I am not as tired. I am 54 and I don’t drink coffee or a lot of pop. I believe this product is equivalent to taking vitamins but this is in natural form.
    I prefer to stay away from processed items as much as possible.

  79. Roberta Vance (verified owner) –

    Stopped drinking coffee and needed a morning replacement that was healthy. This Morning Motivator Blend is fantastic! For an extra boost I add a 1/2 teaspoon of Matcha Green Tea.

    So delicious and it helps me get into my day, I feel a little more prepared and focused to tackle what’s ahead!
    Healthy AND yummy? THANK YOU MACA TEAM!!

  81. Anna (verified owner) –

    I can’t even believe how well this works to give me energy, and still tastes good enough that I don’t miss my coffee at all in the morning! I’ve been a die-hard coffee drinker for most of my life but the caffeine took a toll on my energy levels and my sleep patterns. I’ve been using the Morning Motivator blend for about a month now and I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to coffee!

  82. MATTHEW VINCENT (verified owner) –

    Maca coffee is yummy

  83. Leslie Reinhardt (verified owner) –

    I love the taste of this blend. It taste like chocolate with a little cinnamon. Unfortunately it gave me horrible stomach cramps and vomiting. I added 1 teaspoon to my normal protein drink first thing in the morning and threw up before noon following a morning of nausea and cramps. I did this for a week hoping my system would adjust but it never did.

    From The Maca Team – Hi Leslie, this is the first of this kind of reaction we’ve heard of. It could be the amount you are taking. We will contact you and see if we can support.

  84. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    Love this !!! Wakes me up and taste delicious!!! I put it in milk or coffee every morning…

  85. David Mingoia (verified owner) –

    Tastes great, a good alternative to coffee. I add 1 or 2 extra teaspoons of gelatinized maca powder to the Motivator mix. I take it to boost my hormone levels.

  86. Harmony (verified owner) –

    I bought this hoping to replace my 4 pm cup of coffee. The Morning Motivator is amazing. Great flavor and helps me through my afternoon slump. No jitters or difficulty falling asleep in the evening. Just nice steady energy. Thanks so much!

  87. Robert J. (verified owner) –

    I wanted a substitute for my morning black coffee fix and the related rise and fall from the caffeine. I read several health articles about coffee and teas impact on the adrenals. Then I started reading about how maca was having great results helping with stabilizing energy without the negative impacts on your body.

    In my search for Maca, I also found The Morning Motivator. Excellent product, I start every day with a warm cup. On really challenging days in the office, I will have a second cup in the early afternoons. After five months of continual use, and reduced coffee consumption, I feel great and I am functioning better than before.. I recommend this to anyone who is looking to get off the caffeine roller coaster. Give yourself 3-4 weeks to start to feel the benefits.

  92. Haley (verified owner) –

    This product is amazing! I thought it was just another healthy drink that says it will do all of these crazy positive things for you, but NO. THIS DOES! I have such a hard time getting going in the morning and maintaining that energy throughout the entire day and this has helped me SO much. It’s natural, guarenteed energy. You don’t get the jittery feeling that you do from coffee or energy drinks nor do you have a bad crash later in the day. PLUS- It tastes SO good!!

  93. Mary (verified owner) –

    We purchased The Morning Motivator to substitute for our daily cup of coffee due the the acidity of coffee. We were very pleasantly surprised to transition to the Maca blend from coffee with no caffeine withdrawal headaches! We feel alert and focused without the added caffeine of our coffee – lovely.

  94. Jay (verified owner) –

    Very tasty product, mixes nicely in Coconut or Almond milk. Much smoother and a “cleaner” feeling that any heavily caffeinated morning “pick me up”.

    I plan on re-ordering this product, once I finish my first bag.

    Too sweet for me

    This product is absolutely AMAZING! I am going to let you in on a little secret of mine: I add 1 tablespoon per 5 oz of liquid and the liquid I use is coffee. I know, I know they sell this as replacement for your coffee but it’s perfect for your coffee. No need to add anything else just this magnificent product. If you drink a 20 oz of coffee add 4 tablespoons, stir it up and suck it down. I promise you that the energy, stamina and happiness you will feel will last for hours. That’s right I said happiness. I deink this mixture every morning before the gym while the rest of you are still fast asleep. WARNING: this mixture is not for the feingt of heart. It will give you the power of the ancients while putting a smile on your face. Don’t believe me? Well then prove me wrong. Pick up a bag and leave your comment here. This stuff is AWESOME!

    I’m not a breakfast eater, but sometimes miss not getting the fuel it provides to jump-start my day. Not anymore! I mix a heaping tablespoon of Morning Motivator with coconut milk, stevia and coffee and I’m firing on all cylinders without hunger into the afternoon!

    I love love love it!!! I will be ordering it consistently, I don’t want to run out of my morning energy!!!

    I could only tell a difference the very first day I tried it. After that, i couldn’t. But it has a better taste.

    I mix 1 teaspoon in my coffee, and it gives me great energy for most of the day. Tasty. Effective. Absolutely recommend!

    This is a really tasty morning drink that has replaced my need for coffee. I add whole milk and collagen powder to it and find that it provides a very satisfying breakfast. It tastes good and makes me feel good.

    thats it too soon to know anyting else

  104. James Justice –

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This is something new and I like it, you have to get used to the flavor, but is great, definitely great drink in the mornings, I will buy this again.

    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.

  110. Andrea (verified owner) –

    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.

  111. Malena Paz (verified owner) –

    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!

  112. Rachelle –

    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!

    I take this product every morning and it helps give me the extra drive to start my day

  114. James –

    I’ve been a slow started in the morning, but not since adding the Morning Motivator to my morning nutrition routine. It powers me through the day and I’ve even started skipping my mid-afternoon nap. The bag lasts me close to a month and a half, making it a super value at the price. I am VERY satisfied with this great tasting product!

  115. Amy F –

    Love the Morning Motivator, although I admit to using it as my Four-O-Clock-in-the-afternoon-Motivator, as well!

  116. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    I drink mine mixed in flax milk – it tastes wonderful, and is completely satisfying. It does not rev me up like coffee sometimes does. I am extremely sensitive to caffeine and my body has a “shelf life” of well over 12 hours. If I drink coffee more than once in awhile, it seems to accumulate in me and keeps me from sleeping. The Maca Morning Motivator does not do that. I must admit, that it also does not give me the extra boot to the rear I wish it did when working on the computer all day, getting very sleeping from the screen. :D I love this product, however, and will continue to purchase it.

  117. Alicia (verified owner) –

    I am on my second batch and absolutely love it. I have it every morning and it provides me with so much energy. I love The Maca Team and have been buying my Maca powder from then for a very long time. High quality.

  118. Natalie Dutcher –

    I wasn’t sure what to expect since I don’t care for the taste of maca much but this morning motivator is so good. I try not to drink coffee every day so I warm up some milk and add a scoop and it fills that craving with an even level of alertness

  119. Eric D. Evans (verified owner) –

    The Morning Motivator is a great new product addition. It has a great flavor, when mixed in milk and/or kefir. Although I still enjoy a cup of good coffee in the morning, I like starting my day with a shaker of: 6 oz. of cold 2% Reduced Fat Milk, 4 oz. of plain, unsweetened kefir, and 18 g. of The Morning Motivator. Since I have been consuming Raw Maca Root Powder for quite some time, 18 g. works fine for my body weight and history of consumption. Newbies should start with the recommended amount of The Morning Motivator.

  120. Brenda –

    Love this new cacao drink! I start my day with it. Keeps me going in the morning. Not too sweet, just the right amount.

  121. Gary Albrecht –

    Mixes better than originally, much better tasting

  122. Cheryl –

    Love this new blend! I’m using as a replacement for coffee and it’s working out fantastically. I heat up almond/cashew milk and then blend that up with a few spoonfuls of the Morning Motivator. If you’re looking for a coffee alternative, this is it!

  123. Milan B. Gelon –

    Great taste! energized!
    Love it

  124. klweb –

    I like the Maca products already, I have used the Red powder and the Red Maca root extract.
    The Maca Team produces a quality product at a very reasonable price and I will continue to buy from them. The Morning Motivator Blend is a great tasting product to give me energy and even a touch of sweetness without a crash of caffeine or sugar! I generally mix as they suggest in a cup of warm Almond or Cashew milk and drink it like that mid morning, what a treat! I also use it in smoothies and it’s great!
    Keep up the good work!

    I just recently ordered this new product. Not being a smoothie person I have mixed some of the powder in Greek yogurt for an afternoon snack. It has a subtly sweet and chocolate flavor which is nice

    I gave up coffee about a year ago because it started giving me palpitations and a jittery feeling, and ever since I have been on the hunt to find a hot morning beverage that I can wake up in the morning and actually look forward to drinking. I’ve tried all the chicory root and dandelion blends out there without really liking any of them, and tea just didn’t give me the feeling I was look for. I was about to give up when I saw this email from the Match Team about the morning motivator and all I can say is YAY! This is quite good! I find I add a bit more than the 1 tbsp. serving suggestion to get the punch of flavor I am looking for, but the drink is thick and creamy and I top it off with a few pinches of cayenne pepper for an extra kick. I feel good, none of those jittery caffeine feelings that coffee gives me, yet I still get the cozy feeling I need with a morning hot drink ritual.

    I really like this new blend. Tastes great and gives me energy. While my co-workers are hooked on coffee I try to tell them they need to be dialed in with this morning pick me up. They will learn soon.

    I love the morning Motivator
    Nice flavor. It is great in warm or cold Almond milk.
    I don’t usually eat breakfast after drinking it and I feel great
    Hope to see it in a larger bag
    Thank you
    I advertise for you all the time

    I hadn’t been taking maca for a while. But I got an e-mail on the new Morning Motivator product and ordered it because it sounded tasty and the price was very reasonable. I started mixing a tablespoon full with unsweetened coconut milk. It was delicious and killed any hunger or cravings while giving me a boost of energy and mental alertness. I plan to keep reordering it!

    Delcious and good for me throughout the day. Am loving it thank you!

  131. Lori –

    I wake up in the morning and can’t wait to drink my large cup of Morning Motivator. I am not really a coffee drinker, but I had been drinking one cup every morning for the past couple of years. This is way more fun for me, and I love the fact that it doesn’t stress my adrenals. I stay as low carb as I can, so I try to limit myself to just a cup in the morning. I use cream, mct oil, and collegen in it.

  132. Tina –

    I have been on this for couple of weeks and can see a difference after taking it. I mix it in warm milk and it tastes just like hot chocolate.

    I just start using this morning motivator and I love the taste. I mix it with almond milk when I first wake up to start my day and I add a extra dropper of maca extract…I gets me ready for my morning workout. I let my sister try it and now she’s ordering some…
    I will be purchasing more

    Its a good product but does not mix very well with cold products.
