5 Milk-Based Recipes For People Who Hate Milk

Some things in life are irreplaceable, and that includes milk. One of the best sources of vitamin D, essential minerals, calcium, proteins and so on, milk is considered a vital food necessary for strong bones and healthy skin. And everything you hold dear including butter, cheese, ice creams, sweet-sour yoghurts moisturisers and even skin packs, is made from milk. But despite its good nature and health benefits, milk isn't something that everyone loves. Sometimes it's the smell, while other times, it's the taste. 

 

Now your olfactory senses might not be missing out on a lot, but your body is. So let's meet midway. Say yes to these 5 delightful milk-based recipes that are delicious and healthy. 

 

1. Milk Soda

If life gives you milk, well just add some fizz, a few flavours and a handful of ice to make it better for everybody.

This easy to make summer cooler is the final solution to all those milk-related problems you've been complaining about for quite a while now. But wait till you hear the best part; Milk soda is so versatile that you can use anything from chia seeds to a bunch of fruits to literally any flavoured squash and still end up with a yummy beverage.

2. Apple Rabdi

From all the Indian sweets that you can make at home, Apple Rabdi is by far the most innovative and comparatively easier to whip up with milk.

Although if your tongue is also doubtful about this apple-milk medley, rest assured this dish is a tested combination of flavours that you'll definitely love, especially for all the people who absolutely hate milk.
