Ingredients
1 ripe banana (medium to large)
6–8 walnut halves (preferably soaked overnight or for 2–3 hours)
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
½ tsp honey or jaggery (optional, if needed)
A pinch of ground cardamom (optional, for Indian flavor twist)
1–2 ice cubes (optional, if you prefer chilled)
Instructions
If using soaked walnuts, drain them. Peel the banana and break into chunks.
In a blender, combine banana, walnuts, milk, cardamom, and sweetener (if using). Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Pour into a tall glass. Garnish with a few crushed walnuts or a pinch of cardamom if desired.
🥣 Tips ' Variations
Add a spoon of soaked oats for extra fiber and thickness.
Swap milk with yogurt for a banana walnut lassi version.
Sprinkle chia seeds or flax seeds before serving for added nutrition.
Prefer chilled? Use frozen banana slices instead of fresh.
