Almond Flavored Dates - Banana Milkshake
Milk shakes are a smart way to incorporate the fruits and milk in our diet and also to finish off those leftover fruits begging for our mercy. :) This rich, flavorful milkshake serves good as part of a breakfast on a hot summer day or as a nutritious, afterschool snack for the kids. I prepared this yummy drink to get rid off those last two bananas I had sitting on the hanger adorning my kitchen table for several days. The following recipe can be altered adding any extra fruits / nuts / dry fruits.
- Blend together 1 medium - large sized banana +10 pitted dates + 1 cup milk + 1 - 2 Tbsp badam mix, until the dates are almost pureed.
- You will end up with two servings of a creamy, delicious almond flavored milkshake.
1. We like thicker milkershakes but the milk quantity can be increased by 1/2 cup in the above recipe.
2. Use the almond / badam mix powders (used to prepare badam milk) sold by Indian grocers. I use MTR brand almond mix powder.
3. No extra sweetener is needed. Sweetness from the dates & almond mix powder is sufficient.

Thats awesome power packed milkshake..regarding your question..adding baking powder to pancakes, it cooks faster, becomes soft & fluffy..can also be eliminated if you want..I made a few without baking powder to see the outcome..they were like thick, not so soft, after adding baking powder, the result was good, it was fluffy, soft, and evenly/fully cooked..and was faster too..
delicios n very healthy
Suma,
I used regular plantain from the grocery shop and let them ripen in kitchen table with an apple in a basket, it will take 5 days minimum to get ripen
Suma, sounds and looks delicious. I guess I will try it right away as I am fasting for navaratri and this is perfect for me :)
Suma, forgot to mention, please also post, what does "badam mix" consist of.
Priya, the ingredients mentioned on the pack are almonds, skimmed milk powder, sugar, cardamom & saffron.
We can add the ingredients according to our liking but I think it is hard to imitate MTR's proportions. I feel their mix makes this drinks yummier.
Give it a try and let me know.
BTW, is it navartri time now for you?
Oops !!! I didn't read the "MTR Badam Mix" words before, my bad. OK, I will try to then bring the mix and then make it. And, yes, this is the second of Navaratri I do in a year, it is called "Chaitra Navaratri" and one is of course that comes in usual "durga puja" time... before Diwali :)
This looks devine!!!...Loved the pix!
