To be perfectly honest, when I first opened the bottle and got a wave of algae/pond smell it did put me of just a little, and the fact that I added way too much the first time I used it didn’t help either! But I didn’t let this deter me from trying again and again and now I actually find the taste not wholly unpleasant (in small quantities).

What attracted me to this powder was the fact that it contains vitamins D and B12, both of which I feel I could do with more of due to living in the rainy UK and my diet respectively. I next purchased the chorella powder, a microalgae with the highest amount of chlorophyll per gram of all plants on Earth . My favourite way to use maca is always in the morning in pretty much anything I have for breakfast, whether it’s oats, smoothies, ice cream, or pancakes! What sets Organic Burst maca apart from all others is that it is a unique blend of 4 different types of maca to make it extra nutrient dense, and although it can be an acquired taste I think it gives a delicious sweet caramel flavour without adding any horrible refined sugars that are so damaging to our health. I had previously tried maca – a powdered form of a root grown in the mountains of Peru – and really loved the amazing effects it had: it gives you such an energy boost equivalent to coffee (even helping me cut my caffeine addiction!) and helps balance your hormones so it’s fantastic for anyone of all ages from teenagers going through puberty to older women going through menopause. The first Organic Burst products I tried were their maca and chlorella powders. I don’t remember how I came across Organic Burst, although I imagine it was through Instagram somehow, but I’m so glad I did because to say I adore their products is an understatement! Organic Burst are a UK based company that make only the finest quality, pure, and organic superfoods designed to enhance your overall health and wellbeing, ranging from the highly antioxidant acai capsules to the nutrient dense algae chlorella. For the sake of transparency I have not removed it, and have explained my reasons for changing my views in this blog post here.
