  • 1 teaspoon ashwagandha powder (available as root powder)
  • 1 tablespoon raw cocoa

Why this recipe works

Maca and ashwagandha are both adaptogens — supporting stress response and mental resilience (4-8 weeks consistently for effect). Cacao provides flavonoids for cerebral blood flow plus theobromine (mild stimulant). Banana and peanut butter give sustained energy.

Tips & variations 

  • For extra brain focus: add 1 tsp Lion's Mane powder
  • For less bitterness: add more dates
  • Variation: replace banana with avocado for a less sweet version
  • If you still want to Vitalsuse Ashwagandha-KSM? Take 1-2 capsules separately in the morning with water, do not mix into the smoothie — capsules are not meant to be mixed.
