I often find myself getting confused with a smoothie and a milk shake so tried googling today. Some facts about smoothie from wikipedia :
A smoothie is a blended, chilled, sweet beverage made from fresh fruit or vegetables.In addition to fruit, many smoothies include crushed ice, frozen/.dry fruit, honey or frozen yogurt. They have a milkshake-like consistency but much more thicker. Unlike milkshakes, they usually don’t contain ice cream, but contain milk.
A smoothie is very refreshing for a morning breakfast. This dates smoothie is not only filling its healthy too! The flavour when cornflakes,dates and honey are blended tastes so gud!
Dates Cornflakes Smoothie Recipe – Ingredients

October 20, 2011 at 6:48 amHi Sharmi,
Shall we have to grind, corn flakes also along with milk? or to add it while serving?

October 20, 2011 at 6:53 am@nithya : You have to add cornflakes while grinding itself and add little crushed cornflakes for garnishing as well.

April 1, 2015 at 12:46 pmI love that there is nothing you would change. That's impressive. We don't drink enough smoothies. I am not a morning person so it just never occurs to me. I should start.
