Sip Your Way to Wellness with Shilajit Recipes!
Elevate your mornings or evening with these three Shilajit brews 🫖🍵🍋🍎🌿✨
Dear Shilajit Enthusiasts,
I hope this newsletter finds you in great health and high spirits! Today, we're diving into the enchanting world of Shilajit recipes, exploring how adding this incredible natural substance can elevate your daily routine.
Now I know that getting your hands on pure Shilajit might not be easy for everyone just yet. But fret not! These recipes are enjoyable and healthy even without Shilajit. The natural goodness of the other ingredients – the vibrant fruits and aromatic spices – still bring a delightful dose of nourishment to your day.
So, whether you're already a Shilajit fan or just starting to explore, rest assured that these recipes are here to put a smile on your face and a boost in your step. Here's to your well-being and some delicious sips! Cheers!
Before we dive into today's delightfully simple recipes, let's talk about the ideal quantity of Shilajit consumption. For those new to this remarkable substance, we recommend starting with a pea-sized amount (about 100-150 milligrams) daily. Gradually, you can increase the frequency and quantity as your body becomes accustomed to it. Remember, the key to reaping the full rewards of Shilajit is consistency.
Let's warm up with a soul-soothing beverage that's perfect for any time of the day! This one's also my OG recipe and I've got all my loved ones hooked on this one too.
🍋 Hot Lemon Water with Ginger, Ashwagandha, and Organic Honey
Begin your day with a surge of energy! Our hot lemon water infusion, enhanced with the goodness of ginger, Ashwagandha, and organic honey, is a morning ritual that's bound to set the tone for a fantastic day ahead. Lemons provide a vitamin C boost for immunity, while ginger's gingerols tackle inflammation, creating a powerful health combo.
🌟 The Magic of Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha, known as the "Indian Ginseng," is a potent adaptogen that can help combat stress, boost energy levels, and support overall well-being. (Stay tuned for future newsletters where we'll delve deeper into its incredible benefits!)
Recipe:
- Boil a cup of water.
- Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.
- Add a few slices of fresh ginger or freshly squeezed grated ginger drops.
- Allow this mixture to boil, then transfer to your cup.
- Add a pinch of Ashwagandha.
- Dissolve a pea-sized portion of Shilajit resin.
- A drizzle of organic honey.
- Mix and enjoy the revitalizing warmth!
Before we go further, I want to highlight something crucial - never use tap water with Shilajit. Tap water often contains impurities and chemicals that can react negatively with this potent substance, diminishing its benefits. I think the best choice is to opt for pure spring water to ensure you're getting the most out of your Shilajit experience. If you don't have access to spring water, purified/filtered water is good.
Now, let's turn our attention to a delightful Ayurvedic tradition - combining Shilajit with warm milk. This pairing is believed to balance the heating properties of Shilajit and the cooling nature of milk, offering a holistic approach to promoting overall well-being.
🥛 Shilajit, Cacao, and Ashwagandha Brew
On those chilly mornings, there's nothing quite like a comforting brew to warm your heart and invigorate your senses.
Recipe:
- Warm a cup of milk (dairy or plant-based).
- Dissolve a pea-sized portion of Shilajit resin.
- Add a teaspoon of cacao powder or pure grated cacao
- Sprinkle a pinch of Ashwagandha.
- Any spices of your choice. I like to add a pinch of cinnamon powder, a clove pod, and two cardamom pods.
- Allow this mixture to boil, then transfer to your cup.
- Dissolve a pea-sized portion of Shilajit resin.
- A drizzle of organic honey.
- Stir well and savor the rich, earthy flavors!

Apple juice + Shilajit
Apples, nature's crisp and sweet gift, paired with Shilajit, create a dynamic duo of nutrition and energy.
-Wash the apple thoroughly and cut it into chunks (leaving the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients).
-Place the apple chunks in a blender.
-Add a pea-sized portion of Shilajit resin.
-Pour in 1/2 cup of water.
-Blend until everything is smoothly combined.
That's it! Your Shilajit Apple Booster is ready to be sipped and savored. Enjoy!
Additional Tips:
If you prefer a colder drink, use chilled water or add some ice cubes before blending.
If you prefer a warmer drink, here's a simple apple tea recipe:
- Cut apples into small cubes.
- Heat 2 cups of water in a vessel and add the cubes to boiling water.
- Allow this to boil for five minutes. You can add cinnamon and other spices if you like.
- Strain and pour into a cup
- Add a pea-sized amount of Shilajit. Stir well, and enjoy!
As we continue our journey through holistic wellness, I'm excited to explore more Shilajit recipes and their incredible benefits. Stay tuned for our next newsletter, where we'll deep-dive into the wonders of Ashwagandha and its synergy with Shilajit.
