Maca Powder yuk!!!! I need ideas/dosage

[MrsKitty]

Has anyone tried Maca powder? After research I have added this to my growing list of supplements. It arrived today and from what a lot of people have said they add it to smoothies, but no one seems clear on dosage and the packet just says add a spoonful to food or beverages. So I added two teaspoons to a banana smoothie (well just banana and milk whizzed up with the powder). It is pretty disgusting I must say!!! I got it down ok lol but if it stays down time will tell. I want to take this, I think it has some beneficial qualities but I need some advice on dosage and well ways to make it taste better. Any advice or experience to share is welcome please ladies.

I used to make smoothies with it and couldn't taste it. Though I out more things in it. They were fertilitiy smoothies with yogurt, almond milk, banana and other fruit. My recipe made two smoothies and I put two teaspoons so one for each day. I couldn't taste it really but maybe because I put other things in it as well? This time I'm trying using maca capsules because while I was pregnant I couldn't stomach the smoothies and not I'm really not interested in them anymore.

Thank you for your reply. I am sorry for your loss.

I think I will try putting other things in and one teaspoon instead of two like you did, maybe I could taste it because there was more maca or just not enough other things to disguise it. I could not find capsules without gelatine (which I dont eat), I guess it would be an easier way of taking it. I was thinking I should stop taking it if I am lucky enough to get pregnant again, I see you took it I was not sure you could. Thanks again for your reply.
