Blended to perfection. A glass of wholesome nostalgia.

Sometime unexpected visit may turn up against the expectation. I wanted to surprise my brother at Delhi and without informing I reached ahead of time. I was expected to reach by evening but completion of my task led me to board train in advance. But on reaching home, from overnight joyrney, I was craving for food. It has been few days, since I had home food. But while brother were surprised seeing me at tye doorstep, I was surprised too as I had nothing for the breakfast. And finally I ended up making a protein rich milk shake.

My family always warned me of this habit. They get baffled with my habit of me giving such unnecessary surprises. But it was a quick moment of act yesterday, that made me to baord the train in advance. Today, when I reached home , only my brother was at home and he too was getting late for his office. Atleast I manage to get in time to found the door open, else I had to be stranded nowhere. My sister-in-law was away to her relative. That leave my brother to feed on bread an milk. Before leaving home, he asked me to make the Sattu drink for the breakfast.

Sattu is a traditional, high-protein flour made from dry-roasted and ground Bengal gram (black chickpea). It has been a integral part of our kitchen. But I was not in a mood to drink sattu alone. Many people like to mix the flour with water and add various spices and onion to make it a tangy drink. But I found this an oppurtunity to try so healthy drink that keep me going for entire day. This made to scrutinise the kitchen for all the available items. It was not late to track down

• Milk
• Banana
• Dry fruits

I started starving, as train journey alwsys make me hungry. And todays after overnight journey, I was literally dying to have something of my liking. So I went on to make the shake for myself. It was one of the instant thing that crosses my mind. Put everything on jar and switch on the mixer to grind, to blend to make the shake.

I like my shake to be more sweet, so I made use of jaggery. As Sugar prices is soaring high, I think many people would soon be shifting their choice to jaggery. This option is much more better and healthier than sugar.

After blending it for 5 minutes in the mixer jar, I poured it directly to the coffee mug. Who gonna waste time in looking for an ideal cup to enjoy this shake.

I had all the ingredients at home that make it a complete healthier drink. For an instant energy, this one is a good option for breakfast. A sattu, banana, milk, and dry fruit shake is a complete, nutrient dense powerhouse that combines plant based protein, complex carbs, healthy fats, and natural vitamins. I had it, enjoyed it , and satisfied my craving.

In good faith - Peace!!
