A wholesome Indian recipe crafted for health-conscious eating: nutritious, delicious, and easy to make at home.
Chilled milk blended with fresh apple and a hint of cardamom — a simple shake without ice-cream overload.
An apple milkshake sounds odd, but it tastes like a lighter, fruitier version of a banana shake. Blend a ripe apple with cold milk, a little cardamom and sweetener, then drink it straight away.

Health Benefits
Fruit-and-milk shake without ice cream base. Prefer dates over heavy syrup when you can.
The apple provides natural sweetness and body, so you need very little added sugar. Cardamom adds warmth and covers the slightly sharp taste some apples have.
Pro Tips
- →Peel if waxed.
- →Blend smooth.
- →Drink fresh to avoid browning.
- →Use a sweet, ripe apple such as Fuji or Kinnaur. Sour ones need more sugar.
- →Chill the milk before blending so the shake is cold without much ice.
- →Drink it fresh. Apple turns brown and the flavour dulls within 20 minutes.
