SLC S-32-W4// "Traditional Milkshakes that beat the heat- Pomegranate Milkshake"

Greetings friends and welcome to my blog. I am glad to participate in this weeks challenge.

How many varieties of pomegranates are grown in your country, and what dishes and beverages are made from them?

For this challenge, I didn’t find pomegranates as it not available in our region so I had to use a substitute fruit which had the same colour red and the good and red fruit we have is watermelon. So I used it in place of pomegranates for the challenge.

1. Crimson Sweet: this type is usually oval in shape and one dp the most popular. It has dark and light green stripes and high water content.
2. Sugar baby: this variety is smaller, rounder than others and has dark green skin and is very sweet and always eaten at home.
3. Charleston gray: it’s large, enlongated, light green and red fleshed. It last longer.
4. Jubilee: this variety is long and has cylindrical shape. It’s commonly grown by farmers due to its high yield.

I sliced the watermelon into tiny pieces to look just like pomegranates. Then I put them into the blender.

I added milk to it and blended thoroughly. Then I kept it aside.

I added chia seed to a small bowl and added water and allowed it to allowed it to soak for fifteen minutes while I was preparing the other things for the smoothie.

After blending the watermelon, I put the soaked chia seeds into the boiled and cooled milk and mixed together.
