RECIPE: Maca-Infused Guacamole, A Superfood Twist on a Classic

I love Mexican food, and avocado is one of my favorites. I often make guacamole at home because it’s easy to prepare, pairs perfectly with beer, and is delicious. When I visited Peru, I brought back maca powder, so now I add it to my guacamole. As you probably know, avocado is great for health and beauty, and maca may enhance those benefits. The recipe is simple, but it’s sure to provide plenty of satisfaction.
