Instructions:
Start by preparing your ingredients. Peel the banana and roughly chop it into chunks. If your dry fruits are whole, you can roughly chop them as well for easier blending.
In a blender, combine the banana chunks, mixed dry fruits, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup (if using), cinnamon (if using), and milk.
If desired, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender to make your shake extra refreshing.
Secure the lid of the blender and blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the shake reaches your desired consistency. If the shake is too thick, you can add more milk to thin it out.
Once the shake is smooth and creamy, taste and adjust the sweetness or flavorings if necessary. Add more honey, maple syrup, or cinnamon to suit your taste preferences.
Pour the protein-enriched dry fruit shake into glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a dusting of cinnamon, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and nutritious shake as a satisfying breakfast, post-workout refuel, or anytime snack.
Variations:
Customize your protein-enriched dry fruit shake by adding other ingredients such as spinach or kale for an extra boost of greens, cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist, or a scoop of protein powder for even more protein power.
Experiment with different combinations of dry fruits to create your own signature shake. You can also try using dried berries, dates, figs, or apricots for added sweetness and flavor.
For a creamier texture, you can substitute some or all of the milk with coconut milk, almond milk, or cashew milk.

With its delicious flavor and powerhouse of nutrients, this protein-enriched dry fruit shake is sure to become a favorite in your repertoire of healthy recipes.
