ABOUT Dates N Oaties Milkshake with Dark Chocolate RECIPE

Oh god.....Am I taking my health too serious or am i just trying to compete with friends around and show them that I am more active and fit. Let the reason be anything, I seriously cut down the number of teas that I used to take and replaced them to green teas. But it is sometimes not so tasty and my heart goes on to yummy pizzas and chocolaty puddings. I am fighting and trying to balance those nonchalant heart demands with sturdy mind controlling mechanism. I love juices and milkshakes a lot and love to carry them in my sipper and keep sipping during those days when I totally want to pamper myself. What about those liberal amounts of ice cream, cream and full fat milk? I am dead scared of it. So I found this recipe on Saffola Oats recipe book and I gave a twist by adding Dark chocolate to it which turned out to be very healthy and tasty. It is very filling and that's the best thing about this recipe.
