Apple Dates Milkshake

Summer will be soon at its peak in many places...its the time for fresh juices, milkshakes, ice creams etc...Even just the cold water pacify us so much in the hot days !!

Apple Dates milkshake.....its a simple drink. Apple and dates are a wonderful combination. Both of them are highly nutritious and hence its a  healthy drink too. I am sure you will fall in love with this drink in one sip :).






Ingredients:

1 Apple
8-10 seedless Dates
1.5 cup Milk
1 tsp Honey or to taste

Soak the dates in 1/2 cup warm milk for 20-30 minutes. ( I usually put the dates in 1/2 cup milk, microwave for 45 seconds and keep aside.)

Chop the apple into small cubes. You can use the apple with or without the skin. Put the dates along with the milk in which its soaked into the blender and blend until you get a smooth paste. Now add the apple cubes, rest of the milk and honey into the blender. Blend until smooth.

Serve chilled.



Serves 2

Notes:
*You can add some vanilla ice cream to make it more creamy.
*You can also add some pre-soaked almonds or cashews while blending.
