Banana Betel Milkshake is tasty and healthy. It is ideal for breakfast or as a refreshing summer drink.

Betel leaves holds a great value in India since ancient times. It is used since 400B.C. Betel leaves are used in auspicious functions as an offering to the Lord. They are also given to guests as a token of respect along with betel nut during ceremonies.

It is a practice to chew paan especially after a heavy meal. This dates back to the ages; chewing of paan is associated with digestion, betel leaf is smeared with slate lime and arecanut powder is added to it. Betel leaves are used as antiseptic, breath freshener and stimultant while arecanut is aphrodasiac.

While betel leaf and areca nut powder are the main ingredients in paan, many vibrant varieties are made and relished today. It is a trend to have with chocolate topping or with a smoky touch. Some use katechu, while a few add sweeteners and gulkand to it.

Pros and Cons of Betel Leaf

The use of betel leaf aids in the treatment of headache, cuts, abrasions and injuries, itching mastitis and constipation. But one needs to be aware of its downside too and be careful in regular consumption. According to CDC, using of betel leaf, areca nut and betel quid usage causes an increased risk of developing white and reddened lesions in the mouth that may lead to cancer.

While we do make recipes with betel, it is not a regular feature at home. I rarely buy betel leaves on a daily basis. With this being said, today I present to you Banana Betel Milkshake

I have had chilled paan milkshake as shots after heavy dinner and they are totally refreshing. Combining banana and betel leaves in a milkshake is certainly new and interesting… I could give it a try sometime.
