About this Ragi drink
If you are a protein shake fanatic, I don’t have to tell you how expensive they can be. Even more so, when you choose a vegan option. I do have some favorites when it comes to protein shakes like the berry banana smoothie, but coming up with other options that are rich in protein can be challenging. Well, I have a solution for that… Ragi Malt. You don’t need to add any protein powder or fruit… I agree to be sent email.
Don’t let this tricky name cause you to pass by…I recently posted this recipe for Ragi Cookies and among all the comments and feedback I got, I noticed that not many people were familiar with this Superfood. If you have given up dairy foods (Like I have), this grain will provide all the calcium you will need. Not only will you save time by making this delicious Ragi malt recipe and you will lose weight, but you will also spend less on finger millets than you will on protein powder all the while doing a lot more good to the planet by switching to this Vegan alternative.

Jaggery is used in the traditional method. Plant-based milk: I recommend you go with almond milk for the best tasting Ragi Malt. But the choice is yours. Soy milk and Oat milk also go well with this recipe. Ragi malt thickens quickly and has to be served immediately. if you are serving it later, make sure to add almond milk to reduce the thickness.
