Smoothie punch

During the summers, I rather look for something to drink than eat. So while fishing the internet for some good recipes, I came through this tempting Italian smoothie.

The fruits I used in this recipe had a very strong sour taste to it but the final smoothie, was absolutely yummy, especially the vanilla twist.

You can very much substitute the fruits used in here with any fruits you have at home irrespective of it being a sweet or sour dominant fruit, but yes, if you are using a sweet fruit make sure to reduce the sugar quantity.

Ingredients:

Strawberry: 7 to8 in numbers Slit in the middle

Mango: 2 (peeled and diced.)

Orange: 2 deseeded

Sugar: 1/2 cup

Vanilla essence: 1 drop

Preparation:

Mix the strawberries, mangoes and oranges with vanilla essence and sugar in a bowl and keep aside for 2 hours. DO NOT ADD WATER. Make a smooth paste of the mixture and refrigerate it before serving. If the smoothie tastes too sweet, add a little water to it. But the best would be to alter the sugar amount initially than adding water.

banana dates surprise

Ingredients:
Dates: 12 numbers seedless
Milk: 500ml
Bananas: 2
Sugar: 1/4 th cup
Strawberry sauce: 2 tablespoons
Almonds: for decor
Yellow colour: 1/4th pinch

Preparation:
Make a smooth paste of the dates. Please note to not soak the dates prior to making paste because this will take away the crunchiness of the dates. after making the date paste, it can be noted that some dates are still there as lumps and these act as little surprises in the smoothie. Use milk to make the paste. Make a paste of bananas too in the blender, separately. While making banana paste with milk, add sugar and colour.

In a glass pour in the date smoothie first and then the banana smoothie. Then pour a tsp of strawberry syrup. With a small rod, pierce the side to get the texture. Pour another tsp of strawberry syrup on top and decorate with almonds.

PS_> if there is no syrup, it is fine. you can use other syrups too as black current, other berries etc.
