Its the season of strawberries, the red luscious fruit is loved by all. Mostly consumed as a fruit, it is also used in desserts, cakes and toppings. It gives a wonderful taste to cold beverages. Strawberrymilkshake is a favourite drink to enjoy in this season.
Here is a healthy twist to the usual milkshake. There is no added sugar and the milk used is low fat. I usually blend my milkshakes with a scoop or two of ice cream but avoided it here. Thus, this low fat milkshake is ideal to be consumed by all weight watchers.
Strawberry is nutritional packed, it is rich in anti oxidants and polyphenols. It also has nutrients, vitamins and minerals as manganese, Vitamin C,folate, potassium , dietary fibre and magnesium.

Wash the strawberry, pat dry and cut into small pieces. Freeze them for some time. Grind all ingredients, pour it in a glass, add ice cube and serve immediately.

Apple milkshake has been the recent addition to my list. It is one of the tastiest and healthiest drinks that one can slurp in the mornings. I don’t know why I had not tried earlier.
Apples are available all round the year and one can easily manage with it. It is thick, foamy and filling. Do not peel the skin of apples, just cut it into small pieces and pulse it, it blends well with the pulp and milk.
Wash and cut the apple into small pieces. Pulse it, add milk and honey to it. Again pulse it for thirty seconds. Pour it in a glass and serve chilled. Otherwise, add ice cubes to it.
Take a tip:
Add sugar if serving for children.

Bananas are an wonderful fruit, those reading me will know that I cherish this humble fruit. It’s packed with nutrition and the one fruit liked by all at home.

Banana and fig milkshake is a tasty and healthy drink. It is ideal for kids who do not have breakfast in the mornings. I have used fresh figs here. Figs are rich in natural sugar, minerals and solution fibre. It consists of minerals such as potassium, calcium , magnesium, iron and copper along with Vitamin A and E. Thus , the blending of these two fruits makes it a healthy drink.
This is an ideal way for fussy kids who do not eat figs.

Lassi is a popular Indian drink made using yoghurt. It is usually served sweet though salted version may be made. It is ideal drink during summer. Punjabi lassi is very popular and tasty, second to nothing. Today, I present to you this version of Punjabi Lassi.
Benefits of lassi:
It is a coolant to the body.
It is ideal drink during summer.
It can be easily made at home. Less fat may be used in it.

Difference between buttermilk and lassi:
Buttermilk and lassi is often confused. Technically, buttermilk is the residue that is left out after churning butter from cream. However, lassi is made using thick yoghurt. It is churned with a blender to make lassi. Lassi is usually thicker and has more fat content in it. Buttermilk is thinner in consistency. Lassi is more acidic than buttermilk. Spicy buttermilk is usually served after lunch in many states as Gujarat and Rajasthan.Lassi is from North India and usually served during breakfast.
Different Kind of Lassi :
Over the years, I have recreated different varieties of lassi during summer. Cucumber lassi is spicy and I love it. Strawberry lassi is ideal to serve when you have a couple of berries at home.
