  1. Strawberry Smoothie: – Well, this strawberry smoothie is not a clichéd one. Soak oats in milk till it softens, refrigerate it. Take half cup of curd, strawberry syrup; add this to the oat mixture and grind it for a smooth texture (add sugar as per requirement).
  2. Iced Tea: – Tea lovers, do not give away your indulgence for tea in these summers. Enjoy your tea with cold twist by adding a splash of lime juice, ice cubes and mint leaves.

  6. Banana Honey milkshake: – Don’t you always feel tired and energy, less in these summers? Peel two bananas and add half a glass of milk to the grinder. A spoon of honey in this shake would give a kink to your taste buds.
  7. Aam Pannha: – Boil raw mangoes and squeeze the mixture. Add sugar syrup and stored in tight containers.  Adding cold water and ice-cubes in this mixture would quench your thirst.
  8. Sol Kadi: – Squeeze milk from grated coconut, then add Kokam juice in it. A pinch of salt and cumin seeds powder is also added by dressing it with coriander leaves for a punchy flavor.

  15. Watermelon juice: – Watermelon juice is made by just grinding watermelon cubes into a grinder and then strained through the juice strainer. I would suggest adding a punch of amla juice or just grinding half an amla with watermelon cubes.
