Ampalaya Sweet Shake, anyone?

Ampalaya or bitter gourd get a bad rap for tasting, well, bitter.


However, it is one of the most nutritious foods as it is rich in vitamin C and A. It also has a lot of fiber which is good for digestion.

Chef Jion Redoña has a refreshing and surprising way to use ampalaya. He incorporated the bitter vegetable into a sweet shake.

Here's how you can prepare his Ampalaya Sweet Shake.

Evaporated milk
Honey
Cinammon
Ice


Procedure

2. Blend until smooth
3. Add ice and blend again
