Oats Date Almond Milkshake
Oats - 1 cup
Dates, seedless - nearly 10 pieces
Honey - 2 tbsp
Almonds - 6 -7 nos
Cold Milk - 2 cups
Sugar - 1/2 (opt)
How to make the Milkshake
Dry roast the oats in a pan for couple of minutes. Keep it aside for it to cool down.
Once cooled transfer to a mixer, add chopped dates, half of the almonds, pulse it till the oats are powdered.
Next, add the milk and run again. Now add the honey and pulse again to get a smooth paste.
If you want it thick add more milk, else water can be added.
Clicking drinks is always such a tough task! Every time after I click I realize my mistakes and it's of course too late!
Always place the glass where you want to click, pour the content after placing, making sure you don't move the glass. Else you will clearly see the liquid that moved around the rim.
Notes:
I add half of the almonds as chopped to give that nutty taste when you bite.
Dilute depending on how thick you want this to be.

Yes BM book combination is a bit difficult to achieve, I am yet to really look into it as its for the last week. Good that you are not ducking the challenge and have come up with an interesting smoothie 🙂

Nice and healthy drink. As you said taking picture of drinks is hard for this reason I haven't posted few of mine yet.
Chef Mireille says
what a healthy shake and I love the way you photographed them in the champagne glasses, especially the 1st photo.
...and you were right - I spent several days going through my huge cookbook collection trying to find one ingredient from 3 different books representing the 3 different course options you selected - and I said to myself what was I thinking by selecting this category and what was Srivalli thinking - this is HARD!!!!
