Hi Vineela,

You've got four yummy choices for a sweet tooth here! Great photos too; the closeup of kiwi looks good enough to eat right off the monitor ;)

Your orange milkshake with vanilla reminded me of a creamsicle -- vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet together on a stick -- from childhood. Thanks for sharing these treats.

Hi Linda,
I love the taste of kiwi with crunchy seeds in the middle .
Hey why cant you post crimsicle - vanilla&orange sherbet and thanks for your kind words.

Awesome drinks! I have never tried an orange milkshake. Nice color! Caramelized banana looks delicious. Those are ripe plantains, right? I usually fry them in ghee and sprinkle sugar. This recipe with brown sugar sounds cool.

Hi RP,
i used "Dole" bananas. Try Orange milk shake and let me know how you liked it .It's quick and east too.
Thanks for your comments .

I love milkshakes! But I read somewhere couple of days ago, milk and fruits are not a good combination in Ayurveda. :( Do you know anything about this?
I too love milkshakes But,I don't have any idea about that ,LG

Beautiful picture ! Yummy smoothies / shakes. Bananas look soooo good for a desert. Vineela Can you give me your recipe for idlis using Rice n urad daal and not
rava ....
Hi NEELU,
Rice and Urad dal should be in 3:1 ratio and grind seperately add 10 fenugreek seeds to urad dal while soaking.Mix and keep for fermentation.
If you have any questions about that ask me .
Thank You.
Vineela
