It is an ideal drink for growing up kids or for people looking for energy drinks.
This dry fruits milkshake is very filling and you might like to skip a meal after having it. i have used soy milk instead of regular milk to make it. You can use regular milk or also make with almond milk.
I have used all the dry fruits like almonds, pistachios, cashews, raisins, dates, dried figs and a pinch of saffron in this milkshake. You can exclude any dry fruit you don’t have or increase as well as decrease the quantity as per your liking.
There will be tiny chewy bits of dates and figs in this milkshake and that what makes this milkshake different from the regular ones. You can chew the figs and dates while drinking the milkshake.

1. Soak figs in hot water for 30 minutes or in regular water for 2 to 3 hours. If you have dried figs which are soft, then no need to soak them. If the dried figs are chewy and hard, then do soak them. You can also soak dates if they are hard. If they are soft, then no need to soak dates.
2. Take all the dry fruits in a bowl except dates and saffron.

Very Nice Milkshake Recipe .Thanks For Sharing
welcome sharanya. thanks for this feedback.
Just a word of caution here..This drink/shake is very high in protein and calories.. If your intention is to reduce the weight don’t drink too much ..
Roughly the protein/calory calculation is given below
Milk one cup has ~150 calories and ~8 gms of protein in it
10 grams of cashew nuts is got 55 calories and 1.8 gms of protein. 10 grams of almonds may have 60 calories and 2 grams of protein..one medium dry fig has ~45 grams of cal and 0.5 gms of protein, one medium banana may have ~100 cals and 1.3 gms of protein. If you add walnuts ~30 grams, it goes with 40 gms of cals and ~1gram of protein. 50 grams of raisins has 150 calories and 1.5 grams of protein. 4 or 5 dates may have 280 cals and 2 grams of protein..and the list goes on with the other contents you add like oats etc..
So considering the calories here, this drink may lead to weight gain if you consume it regularly or not doing any workouts.
Considering the protein richness, this is the best natural protein drink after weight training ( post drink).
thanks for sharing this detailed info.
