Summer is almost here and there is a scorching sunlight outside.During this season,the best way to keep the body cool , is to drink lots of water and juices.In these days,I really remain worried about my daughter,because after the school hours when she comes to home,she really looks very exhausted and tired and moreover,she doesnt want to drink enough water.
Therefore sometimes,specailly after the school hours I like to give her some refreshing drink which not only helps to keep her body cool,but also enhances energy and provide some nutrients as well.
This Banana Berry shake is a very easy preparation which requires a minimum fuss inside the kitchen.As strawberries are still availbe in the market and this is my daughter's most favourite fruit,I made Banana Strawberry Shake for her.
