Health Benefits
Sathumaavu is loaded with grains, pulses, and nuts that give energy and keep you full longer. With fruits and almond milk, it becomes a fibre-rich, protein-rich drink that supports digestion, immunity, and overall wellness.
Let’s Talk About Ingredients
Sathumaavu Powder
A homemade or store-bought health mix with millets, pulses, and dry nuts. It needs to be cooked first before blending. You can replace it with oats or ragi flour for variety.
Palm Candy
Natural sweetener, better than white sugar. It melts easily while cooking and gives mild sweetness. Jaggery or dates syrup can also be used.
Apple
Fresh chopped apple adds fibre and a slight tartness. It balances the sweetness of banana and palm candy. You can use any variety.
Banana
Frozen banana gives creaminess and sweetness. It also helps keep the smoothie thick. If you don’t have frozen banana, use fresh banana with a few ice cubes.
Cardamom
Adds a nice Indian flavour. Just one pod is enough. Optional, but recommended for taste.
Almond Milk
Plant based milk that makes it light and dairy free. You can use regular milk or oat milk instead.
