Mango Milkshake

Summer time in other words means mango time. Being an ardent fan of mangoes, I used to be so delighted as a kid to come home and find Mom always ready with aamras, mango lassi and mango milkshake during summer seasons. This is a delicious, refreshing and healthy drink and can also be considered as an energetic drink for kids. My son loves this drink a lot.

Ingredients:-

• 1 cup chopped mangoes
• 1 cup crushed ice
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tbsp sugar

Method:-

• Combine all the ingredients in a blender. 
• Blend it well till smooth.
• Pour into glasses.
• Top with a few mango cubes.
• Serve chilled.

Notes:-

• If you want a more rich and creamy texture, add 4 tbsp condensed milk instead of sugar to the milkshake.
• You may add 2 tbsp fresh cream or mango ice-cream also while blending.
• This yields two glasses of milkshake.

Happy Cooking!!

Hawaiin Fruit Punch

Usually at this time of summer, the temperature is 32 degrees Celcius here and  most of these times I make a lot of chilled drinks to keep myself well hydrated. I love fruit punch. It is a very refreshing and appetizing drink. 

Ingredients:-

• 10-12 strawberries
• 1 cup chopped pineapple pieces
• 1 banana finely chopped
• 1 cup pineapple syrup
• ½ cup soda
• ½ cup condensed milk
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 4 tbsp vanilla ice cream
• 1 cup ice cubes 

Method:-

• In a blender  combine all the ingredients. 
• Blend it well till smooth.
• Pour into glasses and serve.

Notes:- 

• You may use any white drink (7 up, sprite, mountain dew, etc) instead of soda.
• Add canned pineapple and not the fresh one.
• If fresh strawberries are not available, you can add frozen or canned.

Happy Cooking !!

Orange Banana Smoothie

I love smoothies for breakfast. They are quick and easy to make. Today I used the combination of oranges and banana this morning. It turned out to be wonderful. pretty yummy and refreshing. Simply delicious. This smoothie is full of Vitamins and minerals.

Ingredients:-

• 5 scoops vanilla ice cream
• 1 tbsp honey
• 3 bananas (chopped)
• 2 cups milk
• ½ cup orange juice
• crushed ice

Method :-

• In a blender  combine vanilla ice cream, honey, bananas, milk and ice. Blend it well.
• Add orange juice and blend again till smooth.
• Pour into glasses and serve

Notes:- 

• You may substitute the fruits as per your liking and change the ice cream flavour that complements it well. For ex. If you use strawberries, then take strawberry ice cream.
• You may avoid crushed ice and use chilled milk instead.
• You may add 2 tbsp sugar powder instead of honey.
•  You may also add more orange juice for a nice tangy flavour and peachy colour.

Happy Cooking!!
