Remy's Recipe - Banana-Caffine Shake
TGIF!! If you like to cuddle in bed until afternoon on weekends like me, this one is just for you. It will come handy when you wake up, scratching your head (ahem...) hound hunting refrigerator, wondering what to eat. Now all you need is a drink that’s easy to make and can hold your hunger for sometime (until you cleanup to go out or decide what to cook for the day).
This drink is an inspiration from Nigella feast (copy catnnu solla kudaadhu aama). Before I present thanks for the amazing response you have given to my Falooda recipe. It’s an inspiration to know my cooking is being liked by those who hadn’t even tasted it! LOL Ok now, with no delay I present to you the healthy Banana-Caffine shake. To make this, you need:
1. Banana
2. Milk
3. Sugar
4. Instant coffee powder
5. Dried nuts (optional)
Peel the skin off the banana (you may use two if you are very hungry or want the shake to be thick), just toss it into the blender. Now add milk and sugar to taste. Then add half a teaspoon of Instant coffee powder. If you have dried nuts add them too (I generally add couple of cashews)
Blend, that’s it!
Variations
1. You may add ice cubes
2. You may add a piece of chocolate/ chocolate syrup instead of coffee powder.
If you are on dieting and trying to reduce weight, please have a healthy breakfast. Dont skip it!Even if you are late just make a milk shake like this and drink on the go. Banana is very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. While banana provides you loads of dietary fibre, vitamin C, B6 and potassium, milk can add vitamin D, riboflavin and most needed calcium for your day. Caffine is for the flavour and it can kick start even mundane Monday mornings to fresh ones. Now, isn’t that more than you can ask from a breakfast drink?!
p.s: Happy Independence Day to everyone, May India shine with health and prosperity!

oh btw, i read a children's storybook a long long time ago about a girl's adventure, who got lost in the himalayas. the coffee described there seemed to be the most delicious coffee in the world. until now, i still hope to get to India or Tibet for an adventure and just to taste that coffee... i'm nowhere near Emma of mybittersweetkoreanlife in describing things so i just really couldn't describe it in detail but it surely was and still the best coffee description i've ever read... haha...
//hi Srivats! you're welcome...//
Believe its my pleasure :)

I never been to himalayas or tibet - its in my bucket list though :P , yes the life out on north india is quite different from the south, I belong to the down south - Chennai of india.

Yes Mybitersweetkoreanlife's narration skill is quite remarkable, I told her this - infact her travalogue has inspired to write mine. I guess we all draw inspiration from each other :) I just started glancing through ur post and they seems interesting. hoping to get some time today or tomorrow among the chores to read them :)
