Kerala Banana Dates Milkshake

As busy Moms, we love it when something can perform various functions, or is versatile. This applies to food as well, where a single ingredient can take many forms - like our very own raw Kerala Banana Powder! This is a traditional baby food, specially popular in South India. But the beauty of it is that it can also be used to make halwa, fritters, payasam and much more! Today, we have a Kerala Banana Dates Milkshake recipe, made with raw Kerala Banana Powder, dates and honey.

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Mix Kerala banana powder with water without lumps.

2. Cook this mixture over a medium-low heat till completely cooked. Let it cool.

2. Remove the seeds from the dates and chop it into small pieces. Soak them in warm milk for 10-15 minutes. Put this into a blender jar and add honey as required.

3. To the dates-honey mix, add the cooked banana powder and ice cubes, if you like. Blend till smooth.

4. Serve chilled.

This is a very refreshing and filling drink for kids, especially if they've just come home after playing sports. The banana in the milkshake helps to rehydrate them, while the dates offer instant energy and maintain sugar levels. All in all, this is a truly nourishing milkshake that also tastes heavenly!
