Ive been trying to figure out some low calorie drinks which is filling and refreshing too. After workouts I want something to chill out with something healthy and nutritious. It is always suggested one should always eat within 45 mins post workouts because our body can absorb high level of nutrients at this point. To keep me full for longer time and curb my unwanted hunger sensation Carrot Milkshake had been in my hit list for long time. But time came for a change and wanted to try my luck over cucumber milkshake.
Also I got suggestions to try for lassi with cucumber!! Great!! Time for something new to try!! I was so much pre-planned yesterday for cucumber milkshake post workout. But then the idea for lassi took over I had some yogurt too and here is the result!!
Ingredients:
Cucumber - 2 medium size (peeled)
Curd - 1/4th cup
Milk - 1.5 cup (chilled)
Water - 1 cup (chilled)
A Drop of vanilla essence
Sugar as needed I used 2 dates
Method:
-Blend in everything till nice smooth and forthy
-Serve it chill!!
Note:
- If you dont have chilled milk and water you can add in ice cubes for emergency use
- If you have ample of time for serving you can also keep it in fridge after blending and serve it cold
- This is my measurement of 1st trial. It was just perfect for me. You can adjust the ratio of curd, milk and water according to your availability and choice!!
- If at all you get any particles of cucumber while drinking you will surely not mind!! it really gives a additional taste to the drink
My click was not purposeful it was very casual as I was chatting to Monu over fb, we so much like to exchange pics of what we eat n drink. So my snap was for her without any presentation. And cucumber gives off white greenish shade to the lassi :) which looks very nice
Impression:
Im Flatter Over This Drink!! And hence this quick post!!
It was so refreshing and nice just loved it to the core.
I cannot explain and express it in words :) Please make it yourself and know the goodness it carries
