Healthy drinks for iftar: homemade date smoothie

After fasting all day during Ramadan, a glass of cold drink during Iftar brings peace to the body and mind. Many people choose instant sherbet from the market as an easy way. However, instead of drinks with added sugar and artificial ingredients, you can make a nutritious and natural glass of date smoothie at home. It is as delicious as it is effective in providing energy.

Dates contain natural sugar, fiber, and minerals. Mixed with milk, banana, and yogurt, it becomes a complete nutritious drink—which can quickly revitalize a tired body during Iftar.

What you will need

10-12 dates

2 cups of milk

2 ripe bananas

2 tablespoons of yogurt

2 teaspoons of cinnamon powder

2 teaspoons of honey

Ice as needed

How to make it

First, soak the dates in clean hot water and leave them for a while to soften them. This will help the dates blend easily and taste better. Then, remove the date seeds and cut the banana into pieces.

In a blender, combine milk, dates, banana, yogurt, cinnamon powder, and honey and blend well. Make sure there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth.

Finally, pour it into a glass and serve with crushed ice. The best taste and aroma will be achieved if you make it just before iftar. Leaving it for too long may change the taste.

With its combination of nutrition and taste, this date smoothie can be the special attraction of your iftar. Keep every day of Ramadan fresh and lively by choosing healthy options.
