Lychee (Lichi) Milk Shake - Lichi Drink Recipe




        Lychee or Litchi is a powerful fruit. Besides being delicious in taste, it is packed with numerous healthy nutrients. I love all kinds of fruits, but my favorites are lichi, kiwi and apple. Fruits are very good for our health as it contains fibers, vitamins, minerals and anti- oxidants. Also it protects you from diseases, aging and increases your immunity. I always eat one fruit daily to maintain a good health and to get away from the diseases. Coming to this recipe, this is a creamy and delicious milk shake. I love cardamom flavor, so I added to it, believe me it taste absolutely yummy and you don't feel hungry for next 3 hours.
