Welcome to Tarla Dalal's kitchen. I'm Chef Payal.

Today, I'm going to teach you a fun recipe for a smoothie, perfect for breakfast.

First, take a banana and some almonds that I soaked in warm water for 1-2 hours and then peeled.

Add 1/2 cup of cold milk to the blender.

Blend the mixture, but don't add all the milk at once because we want a thick consistency.

Add sugar, vanilla essence, and ice cubes.

Remember to use cold milk to prevent the banana from browning.

Blend again until smooth.

Check the consistency and blend a little more if needed.

This smoothie is perfect for breakfast and can also be served to kids in the evening.
