Apple juice/shake

                                                        Ready to serve Apple juice

Apple juice is a great thirst quencher! No matter where you are, what the occasion is or what time it is, apple juice just works ! ( ok, may be those bottled juices in flights). A great source of vitamin A and C, it is often mixed with other juices to create interesting mocktails. This recipe is an instant shake recipe – which means you go the market, buy apples, come home and make this !

How long it takes: 15 mins (probably excluding a visit to the market !)

Number of servings: 2

1. Chopped Apple – 1 cup

2. Almonds -4

3. Milk – 1 Cup (skimmed milk/powder milk)

Good to remember:

1. Sweet apple should be used for this juice, else milk may curdle.

2. Sugar is an option depending on how sweet the apples are. I have used powder milk for the purpose. Even normal milk can be used.

3. One can replace Saffron with cardamom.
