Carrot and Honey Milkshake



When I eat fresh fruits and vegetables I just feel healthy already. I know we should exercise as well. I'm guilty as I don't exercise as often as I should. So at least I try to eat right. This morning as I looked at my fresh vibrant orangy carrots I could'nt resist the temptation for a chilled glass of Carrot and Honey Milkshake. Also its been pretty hot since last couple days..But I'm not complaining since I love when the sun's out and everything around you looks gorgeous. Lets toast to this beautiful sunny weather...


Even Mr. Carrot here approves of this healthy Milkshake. !!!! This has been inspired by my dear blogpal Padhu from Padhu's Kitchen , who is a queen of vegetable and fruit carving and ofcourse has a wonderful collection of delicious and creative recipes.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups grated carrot (2 large carrots)
  • 4 cups milk
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup ice
Procedure :
  • Wash, peel and grate the carrots.
  • In a Blender , add the grated carrots and about a cup of milk and blend till smooth. Now add the rest of the milk , honey and ice and blend.
  • Serve immediately. This recipe serves 3-4.
Now you could strain the milkshake through a fine strainer before serving or serve as is. Also you could add a little sugar if the carrots are not sweet enough.
