Apple Pear/Asian Pear Dates Milkshake

  I want to make some healthy and simple recipes likes juices, salads and soups for New U event. Few days back I bought Apple pears/Asian Pears from Brennan's Market. I love to eat this fruit as such. Apple pears are crisp like apple and juicy like pears. For a change simply tried milkshake with apple pear and  Dates. I also added 1/4 tsp vanilla essence and honey to make it more yummy and flavorful. It tasted divine even without a scoop of ice cream. If you buy Asian Pears next time, plz do give a try you will love it. Now to the recipe...

Method
