Cacao Paste and Maca: Natural Energy for Body and Heart

Movement begins in a deep place. Not only in the muscles, but in the heart, in the presence and clarity with which we inhabit the body. Ceremonial cacao paste and maca are two ancestral allies that support this process with gentle, sustained and natural energy. Together, they offer balance, vitality and wellbeing for those who practice sports or simply want to support their day with intention.

Maca is an Andean root known for its ability to adapt —and to help the body adapt. It provides steady physical endurance without peaks or crashes, making it especially helpful for activities that require consistency: running, swimming, training or long walks. Its warm, grounding energy helps maintain rhythm without strain. It also supports hormonal balance, recovery, and reduces fatigue thanks to its richness in essential vitamins and minerals. Many people experience greater mental clarity, improved focus and a deeper sense of vitality.

When combined with cacao, the experience becomes even more connected. Cacao brings presence, lucidity and an energy that awakens without overstimulating. Its minerals and antioxidants accompany the body’s processes during and after movement, while its emotional quality —that gentle warmth that opens and softens— turns any practice into a moment of inner connection. Together, cacao and maca create a powerful synergy: sustained physical energy, a stable mental state and a grounded sense of equilibrium.

Integrating them into daily life is simple. You can prepare an energising smoothie with a spoonful of our Vida Activa y Deporte blend, plant-based milk and fruit; ideal before or after training. You can also enjoy it as a warm drink, more ritual, more comforting —to begin the day with direction or to close it from a place of calm. And if you love experimenting, this blend integrates beautifully into oats, yogurts or baked recipes, adding both flavour and nourishment. Just adjust the amount so the taste remains balanced.

Preparation is the same as with all our blends: one or two tablespoons per cup, hot water or plant milk, and a simple gesture of whisking or blending. An easy practice that becomes a small ritual of energy and focus.
