Holi Shakes
These shakes are refreshing milk-based drinks made according to flavors related to the festival, such as thandai, kesar pista, rose, and dry fruits. These shakes are usually consumed cold to celebrate the festival with your loved ones.
Blend chilled milk with your favorite ingredients such as nuts, fruits, ice cream, or chocolate. Add sugar or honey to taste, pour into glasses, and serve immediately with festive toppings.
Desserts are a symbol of happiness, prosperity, history and tradition celebrated during the Holi festival. People prepare them at their homes and offer them to the guests to celebrate this festive season.
There are many options available, like thandai shake, mango shake, rose shake, kesar pista shake, banana shake, strawberry shake, chocolate shake, and dry fruit shake. Such recipes can be easily made and require simple ingredients.
These shakes should preferably be made fresh. But if needed, these shakes may be stored in the refrigerator in a bottle or jug for up to 24 hours. Shake them well before consuming.
Low-fat milk, yogurt, fresh fruits, dates, nuts, seeds, or even natural sweeteners like honey may be used for making these healthy shakes.
Traditional Holi shakes are prepared using saffron, nuts, and spices, while modern shakes are prepared using chocolate, cookies, coffee, fruits, or ice cream, adding a modern touch to the traditional Holi drinks.

Cadbury Silk is one of the chocolates that can be used for preparing the Holi shakes because of its smoothness with milk. One can also use Cadbury Dairy Milk to make a rich-flavored drink.
Melt Cadbury Silk or Cadbury Dairy Milk with chilled milk and ice cream, along with a little amount of cocoa powder, and then top it with chocolate syrup and whipped cream.
