Add an energy boost to your smoothies and juice!

Drea Wheeler is an original Texas girl and has been involved in competitive track & field, athletics and fitness her entire life. She’s a model, entrepreneur and public speaker who started her own fitness consulting business where she creates client’s dream fitness centers across the globe.

She's recently teamed up with Leaves to create what's she's deemed #dreasmoothies. All it takes is a hint of maca powder or matcha and you'll start your morning with a boost of energy!

Maca is a root vegetable native to Peru. It's one of the few crops that can handle extreme altitudes and for centuries, people native to the region have used it for nutrition and stamina.

Try a #dreasmoothie: All you need are 4 Evive Smoothie Cubes (any flavor), 2 spoonfuls of Leaves Maca Powder and 1 cup of water! Enjoy this yummy fruit and veggie protein shake.

Kick start your day: Frozen blueberries, one banana, chia seeds, ground flax seed, a scoop of almond butter, and cashew milk. This superfoods breakfast will kick your butt into high gear in the morning. Throw in some maca (a non-caffeinated energy booster!) for that extra umph to start your day!

Best served cold: Frozen mango, strawberries, pineapple, and acai, yogurt, ground flax, and chocolate almond milk. I love this deliciously cold smoothie any time of day. Hanging by the pool, or right before a killer workout—it’s so yummy and fills you up.

Green Juice: Celery, kale, spinach, apple, lemon, maca and ginger. I personally find this one to be a tad bitter, and since I don't love bananas (a natural sweetener), I often throw in some dates or pineapple.

Beet that: If you haven’t tried beet juice, then you really don't know what you’re missing! So sweet and yummy, you have to try it—beets, apple, agave, raspberries, carrots and maca. You can’t beet that!

Taste of India: I love, love, love Indian flavours, so an Indian inspired smoothie… Why not? Dates, banana, chia seed, coconut milk, chai spices, cinnamon, maca and ginger.
