    About Chikoo Milkshake

    Chikoo is a tropical fruit that is available locally in India. It is also a seasonal fruit that is easily available throughout Summer.

    While my children love enjoying this fruit in the form of this chikoo milkshake, I prefer adding them to my green smoothie.

    Apart from eating the fruit as such, We also love adding it to salads and fruit custard.

    In shops, they make this chikoo milkshake with ice cream, but here I have made the same one without ice cream, without compromising on taste and thickness.

    Chikoo Milkshake Benefits

    The pulpy nature of the chikoo fruit becomes beneficial when it comes to proper digestion and functional bowel movement.

    As the sapota fruit is rich in dietary fibre, it helps to improve digestion. It acts as a laxative, thereby providing relief from constipation problems.

    Since you can digest chikoo milkshake easily and quickly, it helps in improved weight loss as well.

    In general, chickoo milkshake makes a great drink for healthy & active adults including pregnant women, children and toddlers.

    Who should avoid drinking chikoo milkshake?

    Sapota or Chikoo is high in sugar content and loaded with simple sugars, making chikoo milkshake calorie rich as well.

    So it is best to be avoided by people who have diabetics. If you are a person who is overweight and follow a sedentary lifestyle, avoid consuming sapota.

    How to choose the best sapota?

    Always choose fully ripened sapota to make the milkshake. When you press the fruit, it should have some give, and it will be soft to press as well.

    Avoid using raw sapota fruit in general, as the tannins present in them can irritate the tongue and mouth after eating.

    Some may also experience severe irritation, itching and swelling of the throat after consuming raw sapota.

    Ripening the Sapota Fruit

    You don’t have to do anything special to ripen the fruit. You can simply place them in a bowl and leave them on your kitchen counter. Cover them with a towel, and they will start to ripen on their own in 2 or 3 days.

    Make sure to check each fruit daily by pressing gently, as the ripening process differs for each fruit, and you don't want some to over-ripen and go to waste.

    Ingredients

    • Chikoo or sapota
    • 2% toned milk
    • Sugar
    • Almonds

    Please refer to the recipe card for the correct measurement of ingredients.

    How to make chikoo milkshake

    Add all the ingredients to a blender jar and run the blender till the contents are smooth and creamy.

    You can also add a few ice cubes while blending if you are using room temperature milk.

      Freezing milk before use is a good idea for a chilled milk shake.
