Shilajit, this mineral resin from the mountains, has been recognized for centuries for its energizing and revitalizing properties. In this recipe, we will incorporate it into an energizing smoothie that combines fresh fruits and other healthy ingredients for a drink that is both delicious and nutritious. Whether it's to start the day on the right foot or for a mid-afternoon boost, this smoothie is perfect for any occasion.
I remember the mornings when my grandmother would prepare a mix of fresh fruits, always adding a touch of magic with a small amount of shilajit. It was her secret to giving us energy before school. Today, I’m sharing with you this recipe inspired by those childhood memories, but with a modern twist to satisfy our contemporary palates.

Chef's Tips
For an even more nutritious smoothie, you can add a spoonful of chia or flax seeds. This will enhance your drink with omega-3s and fiber. Feel free to vary the fruits according to your cravings and the seasons!
