Light Fruit Shakes


The perfect season for some light fruit milkshakes is here. Why not celebrate the summers?
While mangoes are in season, they are the most preferred for shakes. But we can always play around with flavours. So, a little mint or a combination of strawberries with it can really make up something special. Not to forget the always in season bananas. They go well with mint and strawberries too.

Light Fruit Shakes                                              makes 4 types of shakes
Ingredients
Ripe Mangoes – as required
Ripe Bananas – as required
Strawberry Jam or Preserve – a small jar
Chilled Milk – as required
Sugar – as sweetener
Mint leaves – a small bunch
Chia seeds soaked in water – 2 to 4 tblsp
Honey or Maple Syrup – a few tblsp
Chocolate sauce or Ganache – a few tblsp


The First One
1.    Add some superfine sugar to chopped mangoes and blend to get mango pulp.
2.    Add in a little chilled milk and mix to a very thick shake. Pour it into a tall glass or bottle or jar to make a bottom layer. Keep aside.
3.    In another vessel, add in some strawberry jam and some milk and blend to a smoothie.
4.    Pour the strawberry smoothie over the mango layer with the help of the back of a spoon. So that the two do not mix together and remain distinct layers.
5.    Top with some strawberry jam and serve chilled.

The Second One
1.    Make some mango pulp like in The First One. Add milk and roughly torn (by hand)  mint leaves.
2.    Use a blender to blend it well.
3.    Prepare a glass or bottle by lining its walls with thinly sliced mango pieces. Use a kitchen only brush to put the pieces in place.
4.    Pour the milkshake into it, top it with a few mint leaves and serve it chilled.

The Third One
1.    Blend together some chopped bananas, strawberry jam, honey or maple syrup and a bit of milk. Add in a tblsp of soaked Chia seeds. Add more milk and blend to adjust the consistency.
2.    To serve, add some strawberry jam at the bottom of a tall glass or bottle. Stick a few thinly sliced banana pieces to the walls of the glass. Pour in the shake slowly in a steady stream. Serve chilled.

The Fourth One
1.    Blend together some banana slices, superfine sugar, torn mint leaves, milk and a tablespoon of Chia seeds.
2.    Use some melted ganache or chocolate syrup to coat the bottom and walls of the glass or jar (that will hold the shake).
3.    Pour in the banana mint shake slowly into the glass, making sure not to disturb the chocolate coating.
4.    Top it with some chocolate sauce and mint leaves. Serve chilled.
