Of late,I am following a new routine of menu planning.Yes,I've tried it before but planning the menu for a whole week didn't work for me.Availability of ingredients at the given day and our moods(yes,we do eat according to our moods once in a while!)played havoc and after 2-3 days,I gave up.
Now that we do our vegetables and provisions once in a week,menu planning comes a lot handy for me.Only thing,I need to work a bit hard to make it work,resisting the urge to order in or eat out.A diet plan thrown in and it is a foolproof idea.So as part of our meal plan,I've introduced Oats,Muesli and Fruit smoothies as part of our breakfast.Less rice intake in the form of Idli/dosa which we do have twice or thrice in a week anyway.
Not used to having milkshakes as breakfast did work against us:).But top it with a bowl of muesli and 2 dry toasts and it makes for a tasty spread and quite filling too.

Notes
- Using frozen milk gives the milkshake a thicker texture.If you like your milkshakes not so thick,use chilled milk instead.
- If you do not like almonds,substitute with cashews.I use the almonds whole hence the milkshake has brown spots all over:)
Delicious and inviting apple shake. A very unique drink indeed.
