Brazil nuts are a fantastic addition to a healthy diet. Not only are they one of the absolute best sources of selenium available, they have anti-cancer properties and actually help save rainforests. According to the Amazon Conservation Association, Brazil nuts can grow only “in a healthy rainforest ecosystem,” where, as an added benefit, they provide families in the Amazon with roughly half their yearly income.

• 1 Tbsp raw maca
  
  
• 1 Tbsp organic bee pollen
