Shake: apple shake recipe

Apple shake recipe:Apple milkshake recipe with step by step photos. An easy and a quick healthy beverage that can be made for breakfast, brunch or as an after school snack. Use season’s best apples to make this creamy milkshake. This Apple Shake recipe is made with almond milk and is a lighter variation.I usually make Apple Milkshake with sweet tasting soft textured apples. I also make it with a plant based milk like almond milk or coconut milk.
In this recipe, I have added ground cinnamon powder. But if you don’t use cinnamon powder during fasting, then skip it entirely.Always serve milkshakes fresh and don’t refrigerate them to be served later. The freshness goes away and the taste also changes.Since the recipe is made with almond milk, it is good for those who have lactose allergy or do not consume milk.
During Hindu fasting (vrat), we always have fruit or fruit based drinks, juices or milkshakes in our diet. Since most of the fasting food is carb loaded, it gets essential to balance the diet and include food with proteins and vitamins-minerals.
For this reason, I include amaranth grains, amaranth flour, barnyard millet and buckwheat in our fasting menu. Potatoes is a favorite with us, so I do include it at times in our meals.

Ingredient

2 -4 Apples

¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder  

2 to 3 tablespoons sugar. 

2 cup almond milk or thin to medium consistency coconut milk.

Method

1. Peel, core and chop the apples. Add them in the blender jar along with ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder and 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar.

The amount of sugar to be added depends on the sweetness of the apples. So add as required. If you prefer you can keep the peels of the organic apples.

You can opt to add your preferred sweetener instead of sugar.

You can also add some chopped apple cubes while serving.

Notes

You can even use Non GMO soy milk or cashew milk.
Use sweet tasting apples.
Preferably remove the peels from the apples.
Ground cinnamon can be skipped. You could even add a bit of vanilla extract instead or ground green cardamom powder.
Add sweetener of your choice or you can choose to omit adding the sugar entirely.
