Fermented Maca Chai Spice Mix

Even though my daughter is no longer a baby, she still has her days (errr weeks…) when she doesn’t sleep through the night, which often leaves me feeling less than rested the next morning. When my energy is low, I reach for my favorite New Chapter Fermented Maca Booster Powder to give me a natural boost and support my hormones. Usually I blend this powder into my Magical Morning Matchas (or on those less sleep days, bulletproof coffee), but I wanted to come up with a fun way I could get my boost without having to use a blender or make a fancy drink. Enter: this supercharged chai spice mix, which I’ve lovingly dubbed “Mommy’s Little Helper.” Plus, I’ve personally found that it gives my libido a boost too! Double win!

Spend 10 minutes mixing up this spice blend and you’ll have a yummy, versatile seasoning that will give you a boost of flavor and energy. I’ve included some ideas for how to use the blend, but the possibilities are endless! I’d love to hear where you use it – leave a comment below and inspire us all!
