Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 scoops Protein powder (vanilla flavored)
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons Rose syrup
- 50 grams Vermicelli noodles
- 1 tablespoon Basil seeds
- 2 scoops Vanilla ice cream (optional for additional protein)
- 2 tablespoons Almonds, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios, chopped
- 1 cup Mixed fruits (e.g., mango, strawberry, banana)
Instructions
Soak the basil seeds in 1/4 cup of water for 10 minutes until they swell up and resemble small pearls. Set aside.
In a small pot, boil enough water to cook the vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes. Drain and cool the noodles under cold running water. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the protein powder with the low-fat milk until fully dissolved. Stir in the rose syrup until well combined. Adjust sweetness by adding more syrup if desired.
Add the chia seeds to the milk mixture and stir well to combine. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes for the chia seeds to swell slightly.
To assemble the High Protein Falooda, take a tall glass or dessert bowl. Layer cooled vermicelli noodles at the bottom.
Add a layer of the protein-rose milk mixture followed by a spoonful of soaked basil seeds.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, if using.
Sprinkle sliced almonds and chopped pistachios over the ice cream.
Top with a generous layer of mixed fruits for an extra burst of flavor and nutrition.
Serve immediately with a long spoon and a straw for a delightful mix of textures and flavors.
