A healthy refreshing drink made of dates and yogurt is just perfect during summer. I have not added any sugar, so you may if you wish. I flavored it with cardamom powder and rose water. You may try with gulkand or any flavor of your choice. Garnish with chopped nuts and tutti frutti. Serve it chilled or with some ice cubes to beat the scorching heat.

- few ice cubes
Blend the dates, yoghurt, cardamom powder and rose water into a smooth puree. Refrigerate for an hour.
Pour in individual glasses along with 2-3 ice cubes. Serve, garnished with chopped pistachios and tutti frutti as a refreshing summer drink.
Strawberry contains a lot of minerals, nutrients, vitamins, dietary fibre and antioxidants. So this small pretty fruit has a lot of health benefits for our body. On the other hand, yogurt aids in digestion, treats an upset stomach and has a cooling effect on our body, especially during summers.
So the combination of both these superfoods in the form of a smoothie does wonders and is worth a try. It is both low in calorie and fat. This yummy, creamy and delicious drink can be dished out in a ziffy and can be enjoyed for a nutritious and healthy breakfast or anytime of the day.
