Ragi, also called finger millet, offers numerous health benefits because it is gluten-free and loaded with fibre and complex carbohydrates. It helps with weight loss, boosts energy levels, strengthens bones, and regulates blood sugar levels. Here is a smoothie recipe to try out to extract its maximum benefits.

Keep the flame low at this stage and keep stirring continuously with a spoon so that there are no lumps and the mixture does not stick to the bottom.

Boil it a little. If you find this paste too thick then add a little milk or water to it. You can also store this paste and make a smoothie.
