Watch out – this Date and Chikoo smoothie will fill you up so don’t think of pairing it with a heavy breakfast! One more thing – normally I would call this drink a milkshake but here’s what I found out ice-cream is a primary ingredient for milkshakes whereas for smoothies it is fruits. This drink is naturally sweet because of the dates so need for additional sweeteners!
#FROZEN CHIKOO MILKSHAKE FREE#
If you cannot find them, feel free to replace it with a banana. We don’t get fresh Chikoos or Sapotas so we get the frozen ones from the store.
If you don’t want to use ice, use frozen chikoo slices (just let them defrost for 15 minutes or so until they begin to get a little soft).Date and Chikoo Smoothie – This nutritious blended drink made from Date and Chikoo (Sapota) is a great treat for any time of the day – be it an after school snack or a post-workout drink. Pour from the mixer jar to a serving glass and the sapota milkshake is ready. To make the shake just add all ingredients (chikoo pieces, cup of milk, sugar) to a blender jar and blend to get a creamy texture chikoo shake. Just don’t use too much so it isn’t overpowering the shake. You can also optionally use chocolate powder. Caramel tastes great with chocolate which is what gives us this combination! Adding a teaspoon or two of chocolate syrup makes for a mouth-watering treat.

If I’m using frozen chikoo I don’t feel the need for them. In fact you may not need any addition of sugar. You will likely only need a little sugar if you are using ice cream. Ice cream – If you want a true milkshake, add in a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Feel free to use other sweeteners like coconut sugar or agave. Sugar – Dependent on the sweetness of your chikoo you can adjust the amount of sugar needed. Of course, the higher the fat content, the creamier the shake. Just be careful, they often have added sugar. Make sure you are using ripe chikoo.Ĭanned chikoo can work as well.
