Dry Fruit Milkshake Recipe (Energizing)

This dry fruit milkshake blends a variety of nuts and dried fruits like almonds, pistachios, cashews, raisins, dates, and figs with soy milk, producing a creamy, nutrient-dense drink. The optional saffron adds a subtle aroma and color, while the natural sweetness from dried fruit provides energy and richness. The consistency can be adjusted to preference, and the shake works well as a filling snack or meal replacement.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup almonds
  • ¼ cup pistachio unsalted, shelled
  • ¼ cup cashews
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • 7 to 8 dates - chopped
  • 3 to 4 figs dried
  • 1 pinch saffron - optional
  • 2.5 cups soy milk (chilled) or preferred vegan milk or dairy milk
  • raw sugar - if needed, optional
  • 1 tablespoon almonds or pistachios or cashews, chopped - for garnish

Instructions

Preparation
    Cup of Yum
  1. Soak figs in hot water for 30 minutes or in water at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours or more until they soften.
  2. If you have dried figs which are soft, then no need to soak them. If the dried figs are chewy and hard, then do soak them. 
  3. You can also soak dates if they are hard or chewy. If they are soft, then no need to soak dates. You can opt to soak the almonds, cashews and the remaining nuts.
  4. Rinse the remaining nuts, dates and raisins except the saffron in a strainer or bowl. This is an optional step.
  5. You could also choose to soak these nuts and raisins in hot water for 30 minutes. If you prefer, you can peel the almonds. For small kids, I recommend to peel the almond and the pistachio skins.
  6. Once the figs have softened, then roughly chop them. Also roughly chop the dates. 
Making dry fruits milkshake
  1. Then add all of nuts, raisins, chopped dates, figs and saffron in a blender. 
  2. Add ½ cup soy milk (or any nut milk or dairy milk). Blend to a semi fine or fine paste. If making for small kids, then make a very fine paste.
  3. Then add the remaining 2 cups of the soy milk. You can also add raw sugar if you prefer. 
  4. Blend well again. Pour in glasses.
  5. Garnish with a few dry almond or pistachio slivers and serve dry fruits milkshake immediately.
  6. Store any leftovers in the refrigerate for a few hours, but try to drink the milkshake the same day.½

Notes

  • Add nuts of your choice, ensuring they are fresh and free of bitterness.
  • Use pitted high-quality dates for easier preparation and better flavor.
  • Soak firmer dried figs in hot water to soften before blending for smoother texture.
  • Choose soy milk or any preferred milk base; plant-based milks or dairy work equally well.
  • Add warming or cooling spices seasonally to enhance flavor profile.
  • Peel almonds and pistachios when serving to young children for better digestibility.
