With so many food sensitivities, allergies, auto-immunity, fads, trends, whatever; being gluten free seems to be what everyone is doing these days.
Are we eliminating gluten from the diet and replacing it? What are we replacing it with?
These are some important questions we need to ask ourselves.
Why?
Because a lot of the times gluten is replaced with chemicals and artificial or highly processed ingredients.
The adaptogen in here (completely tasteless) is maca. This adaptogen helps to balance the adrenal glands which has a huge part in regulating stress, hormones, and improving libido (sex drive).
I've also added in some protein and collagen into this recipe. Not only does protein help repair muscle after a workout, it also helps balance blood sugar, amino acids (protein molecules at their smallest form) are the building blocks of our entire bodies. So whether you're healing the gut lining, strengthening your hair, skin and nails, growing, pretty much everyone can benefit from protein.
This recipe is completely grain free, full of protein, and helps regulate stress, how much better can life get?
