Recipe for carrot milkshake

Recipe for carrot milkshake

There are few drinks which I make for my kids in the morning before school or as a mid day drink when they are at home. Carrot milkshake is one among it.

Ingredients

Medium sized carrot ( peeled and roughly chopped ) - 2

Milk - 2 cups

For sweetening - sugar or  yellow palm sugar 

Method

Take a small size pressure cooker and throw in the chopped carrot and 3/4 cup of milk and cook for 1-2 whistles.

Once the pressure releases blend the mixture well and add the rest of the milk to it.

For sweetening add sugar or any other sweetener. 

(I add yellow palm sugar/candy which is the crystallized form of palm sugar and has its own medicinal values specially when its the season of cough and cold. )

Once it is blend well its ready to serve.

TIP: Your can blend some soaked almonds/walnuts to make it healthier and  is helpful for the kids when they are out in school for long hours. 
For blending you can either use a stick blender or a mixer. I use Braun chopper, yes it blends really well :)
