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)

Directions

Step 1

Soak the basil seeds in 1/4 cup of water for 10 minutes until they swell up and resemble small pearls. Set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

To assemble the High Protein Falooda, take a tall glass or dessert bowl. Layer cooled vermicelli noodles at the bottom.

Step 6

Add a layer of the protein-rose milk mixture followed by a spoonful of soaked basil seeds.

Step 7

Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, if using.

Step 8

Sprinkle sliced almonds and chopped pistachios over the ice cream.

Step 9

Top with a generous layer of mixed fruits for an extra burst of flavor and nutrition.

Step 10
