Customer Reviews

the taste leaves little to be desired
I got my MACA powder about 2 wks ago and I was excited since I had heard so many good things about it. However, I have to say the taste and smell has made me very nauseous. I just tried mixing it with soy milk and it was just too much for me. I only mixed about a tsp into 10oz of soymilk. I could taste it and smell it at every gulp. I don't know if these reviewers got a different batch than I have but it definitely smells HORRIBLE. Like I want to throw up every time it passes under my nose. Since I am a college student, I just can't waste the entire thing like that. So I decided to make my own capsules. I feel like I can definitely make more than 300 veggie capsules with this bag. I have no problem drinking 6 capsules to drinking this raw MACA. Plus making my own capsules will probably end up cheaper than buying the capsules from another company. Then at least you know exactly what is going in it and you can buy another powder and mix that into the capsule too. And I would buy it again for that reason.

Definitely an acquired taste.

Calming Energy
Great product, especially mixed with organic industrial hemp protein power and hemp or soy milk.

Tastes Great...very much like malt in a smoothie :)
This is one of the best Maca powders I have ever tried...the taste is excellent and its energetic effects are very noticeable. I highly recommend Nativas Naturals products across the board!
