🌿 Why Milk and Dates Are a Perfect Match
- Dates are packed with natural sugars, fiber, iron, potassium, and magnesium. They give you instant energy and support brain, heart, and digestive health.
- Milk adds protein, calcium, and vitamin B12, making the drink creamy, satisfying, and nourishing.
Together, they create a perfectly balanced drink — comforting, strengthening, and naturally sweet.
🥛 Ingredients (for 2 servings):
- 2 cups (500 ml) milk (cow’s milk, almond, or oat milk)
- 6–8 soft dates (pitted)
- Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom powder for aroma
🍲 How to Prepare It
- Wash and pit the dates. (If they’re dry, soak them in warm water for 15 minutes to soften.)
- In a small pot, pour the milk and add the dates.
- Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Let it cool slightly.
- Pour into a blender and whisk until smooth and creamy.
- (Optional) Sprinkle cinnamon or cardamom on top before serving.
You’ll get a velvety, rich drink that’s both sweet and deeply nourishing — like dessert in a cup!
