Strawberry Banana MilkShake

A simple and ready in no time drink for a group big or small and fun to make too.

Ingredients:-
Strawberry - ripe and cut in halves 2 cups
Banana - ripe cut into pieces 2nos
Vanilla icecream - 5 scoops
Milk - 1 cup (optional)
Sugar - if necessary
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
Ice cubes - as much as required

Method:-
Put the ice in a blender crush it well.
Now add the strawberries and the banana and sugar if required and blend well
Add the vanilla ice cream and the essence and pulse it a few times and serve with a mint leaf on top.
If you don't want it to be thick you can add milk.
You can make this milk shake with breakfast with less ice or no ice at all. It is very filling and yummy too. For those who cannot get fresh strawberries don't worry use strawberry icecream instead of vanilla icecream.
Makes around 4 medium glasses.
My son loves it very much....
I am sending this recipe for the Calcium Rich Event hosted by Sangeeth.

Mango Milkshake

From my childhood days i have always looked forward for summer as thats the time when we get mango of various kinds and the smell of it would be wonderful. I used to ask mom to make mango milkshake all the time and she also used to make it. Its very simple and very cooling too. Normally mango is considered as a heaty fruit so adding milk to it is a very good option.





Require:-
Ripe mango - skinned and cut to pieces - 3
Whole milk - cold 1 cup
Sugar - as per individual requirement
Ice cubes - 3 cups

Method:-
In a blender first crush the ice and sugar together and then add the mango.
Run the blender well so that no pieces are left and now pour the milk and pulse it a few times.
Serve chilled and u can also add a few pieces of mango in it while serving.
It is very filling and if you don't have whole milk you can use whatever you have.
I am sending this to Sangeeth's Calcium Rich Event
