Gorgeous Raspberry Smoothie

by Hearty Food Talks July 18, 2021
written by Hearty Food Talks

Benefits of Raspberries

Raspberries taste great and are highly nutritious. They are low in calories but high in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. In other words, raspberries are excellent for heart health, digestion, and immunity.

We can create several interesting recipes using raspberries. Such as a smoothie, sherbert, cookie, scone, pie, cheesecake, muffin, bread, fruit drink, jam, jelly, etc.

By including different types of berries in our diet on a regular basis, we can improve our overall health in a very enjoyable way.

Most importantly, the berries make an excellent snack for diabetic individuals.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Raspberries
  • 2 cups Plain Yogurt
  • 2 Bananas
  • 1 tbsp Honey (Coconut Sugar or Dates)
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 tsp. Chia Seeds
  • 6 to 8 Cashews (optional)
  • 4 Ice Cubes
Raspberries

Raspberries (saved some for garnishing)...

raspberry smoothie

Place all ingredients (Raspberries, yogurt, bananas, honey, chia seeds, cashews) into the blender jar...

blend the ingredients

Blend the ingredients into a smooth paste. Adjust the consistency by adding milk and/or ice cubes....

raspberry smoothie

Pour the Raspberry Smoothie into the serving cups or glasses..

Topped with raspberries

Topped with Raspberries and/or Chia Seeds, our gorgeous pink, nutritious, and delicious, Raspberry Smoothie is ready to serve!

Note: Smoothies are pretty easy to create. The flavor of smoothie completely depends upon the flavors/taste/sweetness of the fruit and yogurt. Extra sweetener should be added in moderation otherwise it may overpower the flavor of the fruit. I have added bananas and cashews to reduce the amount of honey and balance the tartness of the berries.

Paneer in Tomato Gravy

Homemade Paneer

Loaded with protein, paneer is quite a versatile and popular dairy ingredient.

It makes all kind of mouthwatering, snacks, curries, salads, pulao, desserts, and delicacies.

Basically, paneer is a firm-spongy form of fresh cottage cheese. It can easily be cut into clean cubes or pieces.

Paneer can be created easily at home by curdling whole milk (preferably cow milk) with lemon, lime, apple cider, white vinegar, citric acid, dried whole red chili, and leftover whey. Once the curdled milk is passed through a cheesecloth, whey is drained out and a ball of fresh cheese remains back in the cheesecloth. This fresh cheese is pressed under heavy weight for good 6 to 8 hours to turn into a firm block of desired thickness and shape.

Thereafter, it’s ready to use for a number of recipes. Fresh paneer tastes mildly sweet with a tender and spongy texture.
