Dry Fruit Milkshake is a healthy , nutritious and delicious drink packed with the goodness of dry fruits and nuts, combined with the rich and comforting taste of milk. It is very filling, and gives instant energy. This is also good for fasting or vrat during festivals or a quick, no cook breakfast for those in hurry as it takes no time to put together!
This milkshake can be a fantastic after school snack or quick breakfast for kids, as dry fruits are really good for growing kids! If your kids are like mine who don’t like dry fruits then just add 2 tbsp of nutella and kids wont even know it has dry fruits in it!!
Different fruits and nuts provide different nutrition to body , but you can exclude or add any dry fruit or nut as per your taste or availability.
This dry fruits milkshake can be given to toddlers from one year , after all the nuts have been tried separately and allergies have been ruled out.
