Dry fruit milkshake is a thick shake with dried fruit, milk and topped with saffron for a filling snack or beverage option.

I am not a fruit+milk = milkshake kind of a mom, although its possibly the easiest way to feed a child with fruits. I feel the texture of the fruit & the fibre content undergoes a drastic change , not to mention that according to ayurveda, fruits and milk taken together increases toxicity in the body, and might lead to infections later.

But sometimes, I do give in to make this dry fruit milkshake or even the Apple-cinnamon milkshake when we are running out of time for a quick snack or I am too tired to whip up a decent mid-evening snack.

So, coming to today's dish, its made with just 5 ingredients It's a no brainer and actually requires no recipe per se.
Make any additions to this as per your palate. And treat your kids (and yourself) with this yummy drink.

Who all can benefit from this milkshake ?
