Kiwi Banana Milkshake

Posted on Updated on


DSC_6378Having Kiwi fruit has many health benefits in the month of Ramadan since fasting can also lead to increased acidity levels, which might lead to indigestion.The actinidin contained in kiwi fruits can also help aid in the digestion of foods that are of dairy, meat and legume source hence I prefer to have this fruit but normally they are little sour in taste , so I don’t enjoy them much. Yesterday I found the Kiwi’s at home were little ripe.I just didn’t wanted to discard them off , I thought of preparing its milkshake but with Banana and to my surprise I discovered Kiwi and bananas go together very well.

So If you have super-ripe and sweet bananas that are either fresh or frozen and your Kiwis have ripened so that they are quite sweet too, instead of super-tangy, then combine the two together in a blender this is what you get – a truly healthy sweet milkshake
It was already sweet that I didn’t have to add any sugar at all and that’s how good it is. Do yourself a treat and make this milkshake today!

Ingredients

1 cup Milk
2 Kiwis (preferably ripe and sweet – but if you slightly tangy Kiwis, they’re fine too!)
2 Bananas (ripe – fresh)
1 cup crushed Ice
1 tbsp honey

Optional ingredients.

1/3 cup yogurt(for smoothie)
Sugar, to taste
