Summer is here and during this time nothing like having a sparkling and refreshing chilled drink to quench your thirst and beat the heat. I love fruits and most of the fruit has many benefits also. I love making different types of cold smoothies for breakfast, some fresh fruit juices or lime mojitos in the day time and here is my today's experiment with green grapes. Green grapes virgin mojito is a sparkling and fresh summer drink that has loads of refreshing mint, lemon and ice cubes along with the goodness of tasty and juicy grapes. Making this is so effortless and needs just a few ingredients.

1. Firstly in a blender add the grapes along with half cup of water and blend until the grapes are juiced. Dilute it with a cup of water and add ice cubes.
2. Add sugar, salt and black pepper (if you are using) and mix well.
3. After that squeeze some lemon juice and add lemon slices and mint leaves. Finally add more ice cubes of refrigerate for a couple of hours and serve it chilled.

Mojitos are always a great idea as they are super refreshing and easy to make. You can add any fruit you like for mojito as long as you have fresh mint, lime and soda. (Some people use rum also for making this). I have made this mojito with Dragon Fruit and lemon and its really so refreshing. Here is the easy recipe.

Dates are a very healthy fruit to include in your diet. They are high in several nutrients, fiber and antioxidants, all of which may provide health benefits ranging from improved digestion to a reduced risk of disease. And two dates offer around 150-200 calories and will fire up your metabolism, stabilize your blood sugar, stop you reaching for the coffee and help your body produce vital melatonin later in the evening to help you sleep. By consuming at least two dates a day can boost your body with all this benefits.
I try to add two dates in my breakfast everyday since a long time, after knowing the benefits, may be not in the form of milk shake always. Today I have prepared this Date Palm Jaggery milk shake adding a little bit of Date Palm Jaggery (as the winter session is about to say GOODBYE, so I am using date palm jaggery in most of my dessert recipes these days). And the end result, we really enjoyed our milk shake. And you can also enjoy a virtual treat with these captures and please let me know in the comment section if you like the clicks.
