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.

    Motivator sweetened cacao

    Posted by Kirk on 9th May 2023

    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

    Add Some Color To Your Life

    Posted by Kelsie on 29th Jan 2023

    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. I've been on ADHD medication for a little over a year now and have since struggled with maintaining my 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.

    Mornings with Maca!

    Posted by Jampa on 15th Nov 2022

    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!

    Morning Motivator

    Posted by Judith Hendrickson on 1st Nov 2022

    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 :)
