Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons ragi flour
  • 1.5 cups water (divided)
  • 1 medium banana (ripened)
  • 3 dates (pitted)
  • 6-7 almonds (soaked)
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseeds
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 cup almond milk

Method

  1. Add two tablespoons of ragi flour to ½ cup of water. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
  2. In a separate pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil on medium-high heat. Then slowly add the ragi mixture (slurry) to the boiling water.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring continuously, preferably using a whisk, until the mixture thickens. Turn off the stove, remove the pan from the heat, and let it cool completely.
  4. In a high-speed blender, Vitamix Blender add cooked ragi mixture, banana, dates, soaked almonds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and almond milk.
  5. Blend for a few seconds until smooth and creamy. If you prefer your smoothies to be a bit thinner, try adding extra almond milk.
  6. Pour into a glass, top it with some slivered almonds. Serve immediately!
