For example mango milkshake has mango belnded well with milk, badam milk has badam mixed with milk, chocolate milkshake has chocolate blended with milk, oreo milkshake has oreo biscuits blended with milk, cold coffee milkshake has coffee blended with milk, strawberry milkshake has strawberry blended with milk and so on...
- Therefore, a milkshake usually has milk blended along with main fruits and added some extra flavors if needed and served chilled.
- These milkshakes are perfect for the summers and also a great idea to serve it to the guests.
- Milkshake or juice recipes work wonders to our body and keep us hydrated if taken often rather than drinking tea or coffee which are harmful for health.

- Fresh dates too can be added in sheer korma apart from dried one's. There are thousands of variety of dates available and each one is different from the other with its taste and also the way they look.
- Some are soft and tender, some are seedless, some are juicy, some are sweetest and all the date palm tress are usually widely found in gulf countries which are basically exported to other countries.
- Usually if Ramadan falls in the month of summer, muslims tend to have lots of juices, milkshakes and other chilled stuff which I would love to update on the blog and I have posted some of the suitable recipes that do work wonders for the Ramadan month mainly for summer iftar recipes such as fruit custard, falooda recipe, phirni recipe, shrikhand recipe, a chilled sweet curd dessert recipe, malai kulfi, carrot kheer, a healthy milk dessert with carrot in it and all the mentioned recipes are best when serve chilled.

Shot these milkshake pics during Ramadan but couldn't find the time to write down its recipe....Hope my readers would try out this simple recipe as a healthy drink in your daily diet and not just during Ramadan...
When they are mostly used?
- Usually, dates are used to break the fast during iftar in the month of Ramazan and I also thought of making use of dates to make other varieties too and they can be used to make dates ladoo, dates chutney etc...
- Breaking the fast with the dates/khajoor is the most important part of fasting and if one does not have khajoor then distributing khajoor to break open the fast can help one in doing good deeds.
- If khajoor is not handy in very rare circumstances then break open the fast using some salt.
Taking dates in any form is good for health and they are mostly seedless and therefore, removing the seeds out, washing them properly is must before eating them directly or using them in recipes....
Dates are usually used as toppings or as garnishing on sweet dishes, cakes etc.... So do include dates in your diet and enjoy their health benefits and also their healing properties...
