I had bought the capsules, and was opening them up, to make about 1 tbsp, that I used in the following shake:
Blue-Green Power
2 tbsp hemp protein powder
1 tbsp Maca root powder
3 tbsp Spirulina, or other blue-green algae
2 tbsp Flax seeds
2 bananas
3 cups of water
Blend the hemp powder, Spirulina, flax seeds, bananas, and water until smooth. Enjoy.

Maca comes from the Andes of Peru. It's a root vegetable and medicinal herb, and looks like a turnip. Maca's great for rebuilding our adrenal glands and has reported beneficial effects for sexual function due to its high concentration of proteins and vital nutrients. You can buy it in bulk powder and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
