It is common to feel dehydrated and weak in the body during the heat and long fasting of the month of Ramadan. During Sehri, we often eat such things which are either very heavy or which make us feel hungry quickly. Sehri should contain a mixture of complex carbs and natural sugars that release energy slowly. For this, banana-date smoothie is the best option.

Why is it best for Sehri

Dates are an excellent source of iron and fiber which gives instant energy while banana is rich in potassium which maintains electrolyte balance in the body. When mixed with milk and nuts, it becomes a complete meal that keeps the stomach full for a long time and also controls thirst.
