Badam Shake – Almond Milkshake Powder

Product Overview

A badam (almond) shake powder — the familiar almond milkshake mix, stirred into hot or cold milk.

The listing is thin. There is no brand, no ingredient list and no pack weight, and rather than fill those in with guesses, here is the honest position: message us before you order and we will weigh and photograph the pack we hold.

What we can say is that at this price it is an ordinary grocery drink mix rather than a premium nutrition supplement — and for a badam shake, that is exactly right. It is a drink, not a treatment.

What a Badam Shake Is Good For

• A quick, filling drink — almonds bring protein and fat, milk brings protein and calcium.
• Getting calories into someone with no appetite, which is easier as a drink than as a plate of food.
• A familiar treat children will actually finish, especially in Ramadan or on a hot afternoon.

If gaining weight is the aim, make it with full-fat milk and drink it between meals rather than with them — a shake with a meal just replaces food you would have eaten anyway.

Contains Nuts

This is an almond product. Do not give it to anyone with a nut allergy, and always say what is in it before serving it to a guest. If your child has not had almonds before, introduce them separately first.

How to Make It

1. Add the powder to a glass of milk — the pack gives the amount.
2. Stir or shake until smooth. Cold milk needs more mixing than warm.
3. Serve hot in winter, chilled in summer. Both work.
4. Drink it fresh; do not keep a made-up glass standing at room temperature.

Storage

• Keep the container tightly closed, somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.
• Do not store it in a bathroom. Heat and humidity break supplements down faster than anything else, and a Dhaka bathroom is the worst place in the house for them.
• Leave the desiccant sachet in the bottle. It is there to keep moisture out, not by mistake.
• Softgels and fish oils are best kept in a fridge in hot weather — they go rancid otherwise.
• Keep it out of reach of children.
• Do not use it after the expiry date, and throw it away if the capsules smell strongly off, have stuck together or changed colour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the pack?

The seller does not state it, and we are not going to guess. Ask us and we will confirm before you order.

Can I make it with water?

You can, but milk is what makes it a badam shake. With water it is thin and much less nourishing.

Does it contain sugar?

Most badam shake mixes are sweetened. Check the pack, and message us if you need to know for a diabetic in the household.

How do I check the pack is in date?

The expiry date is printed on the bottle or the base of the box. Check it as soon as your order arrives. If it is unreadable or close to expiry, message us and we will replace it.
