Chef's Tips
- For a more indulgent smoothie, add a teaspoon of raw cacao powder.
- If you don't have Medjool dates, you can use another variety of dates, but make sure to pit them well and adjust the quantity according to their sweetness.
- You can also add other superfoods to your smoothie, such as chia seeds, flax seeds, or spirulina.
- Shilajit has a fairly strong taste. Start with a small amount (the size of a grain of rice) and gradually increase if necessary.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before consuming shilajit.
