The TonalNectli Smoothie is a nutritional beverage designed as a healthy alternative to traditional breakfasts, combining natural ingredients with a perspective of sustainability and comprehensive health. It was developed in October 2023, adapting ancient Mexican dietary practices to modern nutrition.
History[edit]
The development of the TonalNectli Smoothie was led by specialists in nutrition and traditional Mexican medicine, including Dr. Erick Estrada Lugo, a renowned nutritionist and member of the National System of Researchers. This smoothie was designed in collaboration with the Autonomous University of Chapingo to meet the needs of a breakfast that supports long-term health and respects the environment.[1].
