Cantaloupe/Musk Melon Juice



This time for Blog Hop-Wednesday#15 , i am paired with Kokila of Foodies Nest.. There are many interesting dishes out there and i zeroed down on two things.. One was a date & nuts burfi and the other was this juice..Every time we buy musk melon, we chop them into small pieces, add sugar & refrigerate and then enjoy the fruit..But, i have never tasted it as a juice..so thought i should do this!

Dates-Apple Milkshake

We are not big time into milkshakes. Lemon juice salted is a staple drink at home :). Its on occasions when the fruits are not being used, i make milkshakes.. Anyday, its much healthier to eat fruits as it is but on those 'sinful' craving attack days, fruits provide the much needed comfort factor :D


Date-Apple Milkshake



Ingredients
1. Dates - 5 (de-seeded)
2. Apple - 1 ( peeled & cored)
3. Sugar - 2 tbsp
4. Milk - 2 glasses


Preparation Time!!
1. Soak dates in little milk for about 20 minutes, for it to become a little soft
2. Then, add this into a blender, add chopped apple, sugar & milk. Blend well. Its takes some time for dates to be mashed completely
3. Add ice cubes(optional) and serve


This milkshake is quite filling and has a nice taste..almost like toned down version of a vanilla milkshake.


You could go ahead add 1-2 tsp of vanilla essence to make it taste like vanilla milkshake :)


Serving - 2 big glasses
Duration - 10 minutes ( non inclusive of dates soaking time)
