Milkshakes are a heavenly respite in the hot summer season and also a refreshing saviour when the monsoon humidity kicks in. When you think of milkshakes, it’s the classic flavours that instantly pop into our minds: chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and so on. But what if you were served a glass of vegetable milkshake? No, we are not kidding. Thanks to popular digital creator Pushpek Sidhu, social media users have come across a bizarre drink, aka Saag Milkshake. A peculiar twist of leafy, green vegetables to the classic shake.
The video opens to a voiceover saying, “Have you tried our brand new Saag Milkshake?” It was followed by Pushpek Sidhu’s shocked reaction, which did not come as a surprise. The preparation involves adding a “generous scoop of luxuriously creamy” vanilla ice cream into a blender, followed by “pure, organic, hand-stirred saag”. The cook claims the vegetable to be a “secret ingredient”. Next, the two items are mixed uniformly before the concoction is poured into a glass and topped with whipped cream. Adding to the uncanniness, the Saag Milkshake is then garnished with “a fragrant sprig of coriander” for that final touch.
