Learn how to make a delicious vegan snack using our quick, healthy plant-based Maca energy balls snack recipe. Maca is an edible plant native to South America in the high Andes mountain of Peru. I have to admit I’d never tasted Maca nor knew much about it until recently. It’s now one of my favorite things with a unique flavor unlike anything else I’ve tasted. Maca is not only delicious, it has many health benefits.
