Last year, the weekend after Ganesh Chaturthi was over, other than Ganesh’s blessings, we were left with dozens of bananas😀. Some were already there from our weekly grocery shopping, and the rest came as prasad from Ganesh Chaturthi.
Seeing the pile of bananas, my mother-in-law kept on chanting “why don’t we make some banana milkshake?“ I knew that “we” actually meant “you” 😒but I was not in a mood to make milkshake during a busy weekday.
Finally, I gave up! I was fasting on Friday and by the evening I needed something to boost my energy😰. Banana milkshake felt like the perfect choice at that time. Also, it is Baby S’s most loved drink.😋
Bananas and dates are powerhouses of energy💪,
a rich source of dietary fiber, potassium, calcium, vitamins, and various
antioxidants, an instant energy booster.
So here comes my simple banana milkshake recipe, nutritious, healthy, and delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, chopped, over-riped ones are best
- ½ liter chilled milk
- 2-4 deseeded and chopped dates
- 1 tbsp crushed dry fruits, I used almonds, cashews, and pistachios
- 1 tsp sugar (optional), I didn’t add sugar, bananas, and dates were naturally sweet
Method
- Add chopped bananas and dates along with the milk in a blender
- Blend until smooth and frothy
- Garnish with crushed dry fruits
- Serve immediately, you can add a few ice cubes as well
My other favorite fasting foods are sabudana khichdi, sabudana kheer,
sabudana vada, boiled and sautéed veggies. What are yours?
