1. Taste

We were looking for a mix that tasted fresh and showcased the innate flavors of the ingredients. We looked forward to tasting the nutty, earthy flavors, if any. 

Were any artificial, undesirable flavors noticed?

2. Consistency + Mixability

This is a powder which needs to be mixed with milk and heated. Does the powder mix in easily, or does it form tough lumps that require strenuous mixing? When we follow the milk-powder ratio provided on the back of the pack, how is the consistency of the drink? Is it porridge like or does it garner a milkshake-like consistency?

How did we make this?

We mixed 1.5 tablespoons of this powder in 150 ml of milk. This yielded a porridge-like consistency. 

You could add or reduce the quantity of powder for a thicker or lighter consistency, respectively. Same for the sweetener – you can add sugar, honey or jaggery as per your choice.

Mishry’s Verdict

• The carb sources are super nutrient-dense.
• Sugars are not the main energy source.
• The millets, cereals, and pulses do not just offer carbs, but also fiber, and protein, with micronutrients.
• All fat this has is good fat, as nothing is refined or processed. 

Aroma + Appearance

We were welcomed by the refreshing aroma of green cardamom. It was the most prominent. The mix had a beige-grey hue. 

Taste + Consistency

This had a fresh, wholesome taste. While the characteristic flavor of ingredients could not be identified as it was a cardamom-heavy mix. We quite liked the overall flavor. 

This thickens rapidly. It is therefore CRUCIAL to be sure of the consistency you’re going for and add the mix accordingly. The mixing was seamless, no lumps formed, no extra efforts needed to combine the components well.
