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?

Not on an empty stomach
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.

Morning Motivator
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.

Afternoon Energy!
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!

Motivating My Mornings!!
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.

Life Changing!!
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!!
