About Carrot Milkshake

Milkshakes are one of my favorite drinks to have any time of the day. When I want something light for breakfast or want to have something chill after a heavy meal, it is my go-to option. 

This carrot milkshake is a creamy, naturally sweet and refreshing drink made with carrot, milk and sugar. Usually carrot milkshakes are made by grinding raw carrots which have a slight grainy texture. So, to make it as smooth and creamy I have used cooked carrots. The cooked carrots are blended along with chilled milk and sugar. The milkshake can be enjoyed immediately in a glass. It is one of the cool and tasty drinks that you can make without spending too much time in the kitchen. 

Carrots are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and fibre. As the carrots get its orange color from the antioxidant called beta carotene, which is good for your vision and improves immunity. So, this makes a healthy and nutritious drink which is perfect for both kids and adults. 

Carrots are not only meant for making poriyal, juice, salad or soup. The mix of carrot and milk is a deadly combination that you can make carrot halwa, carrot kheer, carrot burfi, carrot popsicle and many more recipes.

Simple and easy : The milkshake can be made with basic pantry ingredients like carrot, milk and sugar. The delicious and creamy drink can be made in less than 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Carrot : Use fresh and good quality carrots. Grate them using a food processor. Carrots can be chopped and steamed or saute and cook the grated carrots like I did. 

Milk : Use full fat cream milk for the rich and creamy taste. For vegan, use any non dairy milk like oat milk, almond milk and coconut milk for blending. 

Sugar : As the carrots are already sweet in nature, adjust or add the sugar quantity based on your liking. You can use any sweetener like brown sugar, coconut sugar, condensed milk or honey. 

Optional : Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream while blending or add it on top of milkshake before serving. 

Hacks

Pre grating : Grate the carrots a day before or during the weekend. Store them in an airtight container and put it inside the refrigerator. For busy days, these pre grated carrots come in handy. 

Chilling : Boil and cool the milk completely. Then place the milk inside the fridge and chill it for at least 1 to 3 hours. 

Flavour booster : Want to enhance the flavour of carrot milkshake ? Add soaked nuts like cashewnut, almond or pistachios while grinding.
