Jamun Smoothie

Java Plum Smoothie - Protein Shake Recipe - 4

Jamun crop has been so abundant this year that we are still enjoying this amazing fruit in the last week of June. I have recently rekindled my hobby of fermentation and made my first batch of kefir yesterday. Well, this recipe is the result of these two amazing events coming together into this oh so delicious smoothie. This recipe will remind you of dahi-bhalla/dahi-wada. Roasted cumin adds all the magic in this recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup jamun pulp, fresh or frozen
1 scoop unflavored protein powder
1 cup unflavored kefir or yoghurt
1/4 to 1/2 cup carbonated water/soda
1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder
1 tbsp honey(optional)
salt to taste

Method:

1. In a blender jar, add jamun pulp, kefir or yoghurt, cumin powder, protein powder, honey(if using) and salt. Blend well.

   

   

2. Add carbonated water and serve chilled with ice cubes.

Notes:

1. I used half yoghurt and half kefir since I am consuming kefir after a long time.

2. Kefir has it’s own carbonation if you do two-stage fermentation, skip carbonated water if that is the case.

3. I had some jamun honey in my pantry so I have used that but it is completely optional. Add honey if your yoghurt or kefir is too sour.
