Even though the title reads after school, this is a fine breakfast option. For kids and grownups alike. I am sorta in a hurry to finish this post. You may ask why i m in a hurry and that the post can always wait but i m currently smitten with the recipe and my soul will not calm down until i shout it out to the whole world.The hurry is necessitated by a crime thriller that i am reading and finding it very difficult to put it down. In case, you are exclaiming to yourself, ” Ha this girl reads too”, i ve been reading since i was 6 years. Also, i know its the end of another year, a mixed bag of sorts and i ve that post to share with you all too. Tomato Blues made some history in a small way in 2012 and i shall delve into the milestones in detail in another post. But in the meanwhile, lets talk milkshake, breakfast and how to kick start your day healthily.
Recently, TH resorted to diet regimen. So what s new in that? you ask. Nothing new except that the man literally dint touch sugar for 9 whole days and ate just fruits and veggies to keep him going. No sugar and no salt. Imagine that? While you all think its super cool, let me grudgingly tell you all that to weave magic in kitchen without the both is quite a herculean task. His morning breakfasts were all milkshakes and i quickly got bored with the usual bananas and strawberries. And that s how this creamy uber delicious milkshake was born. And guess what s the brownie point? Its sugar free. (As if that s going to make me euphoric. Just saying..)
