Chikoo Milkshake is a tasty and an ideal drink to start the day. It is filling and a good way to consume a healthy and tasty drink.
When the work load is more or the need of proper nutritious food, we resort to smoothies and milkshakes. It should be a norm to take some fruits and vegetables regularly.
Milkshakes are of varied kind. They are usually high calorie with ice cream and milk solids in it. But, it can be made healthier. Today, I am sharing the healthier version of sapota milkshake. It is equally tasty and ideal for the calorie conscious folks. It helps to keep hunger at bay, ideal to serve along with breakfast.
Chikoo is commonly called as sapota, naseberry or sapodilla. The botanical name of sapota is Manilkara Zapota. It is native to South Mexico. It is grown in large quantities in India, Pakistan, Thailand, Indonesia, Mexico and Bangladesh. It is a sweet, brown hued oval or round shaped.
Benefits of chikoo :
1. Chikoo is rich in fibre, aids in proper bowel movement and digestion.
2. The chemical compounds present in the fruit help to keep congestion and chronic cough at bay.
3. It is rich in calcium, phosphorous and iron. The nutrients help in strengthening the bones.
The best way to consume fruits is to eat them whole. When the intake of fruits and vegetables drastically reduces, we think of ways to include them in our diet. Smoothie and milkshake are healthier option, you can limit the sugar content. Readymade juices have a high amount of sugar.

Chikoo Milkshake is my all time favourite. Whenever the chikoo season begins and if I am in India I always enjoy chikoo milkshake at home or whenever we dine out.
Last I saw chikko is almost 4 years back in my India visit. Since this milkshake recipe came up, I am going to buy some frozen ones and try.
This is my all time favorite and for this theme, I guess we both chose chickoo. This is a delicious one that I prefer always!
