What makes it an ideal milkshake for summer?

Consuming figs in summer keeps the body healthy. “Figs are a powerhouse of fibre. They are rich in potassium, minerals, calcium, and vitamins, and help keep diseases at bay. Figs are also beneficial in relieving stomach-related problems like constipation and gas. They are also known to control blood pressure, and enhance the body’s immunity,” said Sahani.

Agreeing that it is a great summer drink, Payal Sharma senior dietician at Dharamshila Narayana Hospital told indianexpress.com, “It is refreshing, nutritious, and hydrating. Figs are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making the shake a healthy addition to your diet.”
