The Maca Team The Morning Motivator Maca Coffee, Caffeine-Free Coffee, GMO-Free, Vegan and Fair Trade Coffee, 1 Pound, 50 Servings

I started drinking too much coffee and it was taking a toll on my body. I came across this when I was searching for healthy alternatives and I'm so glad that I tried it! I'll admit, the first week when I was going through caffeine withdrawal, it was rough, but I knew it would only take a few days for that to pass.Once I was over the caffeine withdrawal, I couldn't believe how much energy I had! I would work a 10 or 11 hour shift, then get home and still have energy to workout! Also, if I get tired at work in the afternoon, I can drink more of this for a boost of energy, AND I can still get to sleep at night!This is such a huge help with my health because I also suffer from chronic migraines, and I've noticed that I'm not having them as often! Right now I'm on my third week without a migraine!It can be rough on your body if you use too much. I started with 1 tablespoon but that was a little too rough on my stomach. I found that half a tablespoon was the perfect amount for me, so I get the energy I need with no tummy pain.I know some people may not like the graininess in the last few sips, plus getting past the caffeine withdrawal period is rough, but I think it's completely worth it. I'm so glad I found the Morning Motivator!

I just received this item today after hearing about it through the Ultimate Bundles Productivity Bundle. I have heard great things about maca in general but didn't ever know there was a product like this (since this is not just maca but it has other ingredients in it to make it more of a ready to go drink). I immediately made a cup and it tastes great! I initially used cold milk with the recommended 1 TBSP but it had a hard time dissolving from just using a spoon to stir so I warmed the cup up afterwards. It honestly just tastes like hot chocolate or a not so intense chocolate milk with a little nutty taste (not as strong as a peanut butter chocolate combo would be though). The nuttiness is very subtle but I really enjoy it. I chugged that first half of the cup and felt a rush of energy in about 5 minutes. Not jittery and more of a positive energy rush. I am sure if you actually took your time to drink it it wouldn't be so sudden but it would still feel like a nice energy boost and nothing over the top. I have heard to mix this in your coffee too so I am going to try that tomorrow! For the price, I think this is a great choice since the quality of ingredients is so high and the taste is great too. I am definitely ordering this again!

I was diagnosed with gerd 6 months ago and have since quit coffee. I desperately needed a hot morning drink replacement and I’m happy to say that I’ve found it in this Morning Motivator drink. I do 2 heaping teaspoons of Morning Motivator and 1 teaspoon of a chicory drink (Barlee brand) on hot oat milk (Pacific brand, original)... and it definitely fits the routine. I was initially worried that the cocoa (one of the ingredients) might affect my acid reflux, but thankfully it goes down well with me.I would take away a point for price/value for money because I think it is on the expensive side. This entire bag will only last me about 1 drink a day for 3-4 weeks.Take note though, this does not taste like coffee, instead more like hot cocoa... and I love it! My 6 year old also loves taking sips of it while I’m drinking.If you’re on the fence about this drink... just go for it!

I was diagnosed with chronic GERD six months ago, and can have almost no caffeine. I used to drink coffee religiously and have been missing it more than anything else I've had to give up. Black teas are even off the table for me. This at least gave me a more hearty drink to sip in the morning than clear herbal teas. Only gave 4/5 because I was expecting more of a satisfying roasted flavor since it's marketed as a "coffee substitute". I do appreciate the earthy coco flavor and extra vitamins/minerals from the maca. It does give me a wee bit of a pep in my step, enough to help with grogginess and brain fog in the morning. Obviously the buzz isn't comparable to coffee, but that's fine with me. Just wish it had more bitter coffee notes in the flavor.

I was introduced to The Maca Team through their red raw maca (that I LOVE) so when I saw the morning motivator I had to try it. I’m trying to cut down on coffee because I hit an afternoon crash so I tried this in the afternoon instead of my 2nd coffee. It totally worked. I felt alert, awake, and didn’t have a crash after. I warm up a half oat milk, half water mixture and then use a shaker ball to blend it all together with the powder in a mason jar. Then I pour it into a coffee cup. It tastes like hot cocoa and I love it. I have since gotten the unsweetened version and love it just as much. I don’t feel like either is lacking in anything.

Delicious supplement for my afternoon coffee. I usually brew up a K-Cup in the afternoon to get me through the last couple hours of work, but when I saw this product I knew it had much better benefits than a caffeine jolt. I have been mixing it with chocolate almond milk and it is the perfect pick me up for my afternoon slump. It also has kept me from seeking out chocolate candy as a pick me up as well! The flavor is like a chocolate malt! Will def keep adding this to my daily routine!

Just received mine today. Therefore, I cannot state if I noticed a difference.I’d give the taste, shipping, packaging all 5 stars. The three stars is because it doesn’t mix well and I feel like I’m wasting what is stuck to my cup. I don’t have motivation in the morning to stir in hopes it may actually blend and be a smooth beverage. May be better to just pour into my cereal. I know many of the reviews say use a hot beverage but that shouldn’t be the case. I will continue using this product as I paid $19 for it and will update my review as I notice lasting energy.
