Shilajit Smoothie Recipes
If plain warm water isn't your preference, blending shilajit into a smoothie is a simple way to fit it into your routine. Resin has an earthy, slightly bitter taste on its own, which fruit and other ingredients tend to mask well.
Key takeaways
- Fruit, cocoa, or a little honey generally balance shilajit's earthy taste well.
- Dissolve your labelled dose in a little warm water first for more even blending.
- Try shilajit on its own first if you're new to it, so you know how you respond before combining it.
Three simple combinations
- Mango and yoghurt. Mango, banana, yoghurt or kefir, and water or milk, blended until smooth.
- Green smoothie. Spinach, green apple, avocado, and coconut water, blended together.
- Cocoa and banana. Almond milk, banana, cocoa, and a pinch of cinnamon, blended together.
Add your usual dose of shilajit, following the amount stated on your product's label, dissolved in a small amount of warm water first if you prefer it to blend in more evenly, then add it to the rest of the ingredients.
A note on taste
Shilajit's earthy flavour is more noticeable at a higher dose. Fruit, cocoa, or a touch of honey generally balance it well if you find the taste distracting.
Practical notes
- Follow your product's labelled dose rather than a fixed teaspoon measurement, since resin concentration varies between products.
- If you are new to shilajit, it is worth trying it on its own in warm water first, so you know how you respond to it before combining it with other ingredients.
