From Ramadaan staples like falooda to a simple chocolate milk, a refreshing milkshake never fails to hit the right spot after a day of fasting.

1L Milk
1/4 tin Condensed Milk (adjust according to taste)
3 Curry Spoons Vanilla Ice Cream

Peel and cube avo. Add to the blender with milk, condensed milk and ice cream. Blend well till smooth. If too thick add more milk. Enjoy straight away as this does not store well.

Coffee Milkshake
