If you use all ripe chikoo then you can avoid this.īelow are few health benefits that you must know of this humble down to earth fruit. Unripe chikoo has a white sticky latex substance that makes lip sticky. Well that’s because some of the chikku in your batch might be unripe one. Why do lips get sticky when having chikoo milkshake. Jokes apart, the reason why this happens. they stick as if you have applied any adhesive there. Take a sip of chikku shake and press your lips hard, try to open them slowly. Me and my bro used to laugh a lot when we were kids on this. If you have tried chiku shake and felt your lips sticking to each other, you are not alone. The ripe ones are especially good as they are softer and sweeter. The natural sweetness of chikku makes it best fruit for milkshake recipes. The cheapest and yet one of the healthier smoothie. I had to share it.Ĭoming back to the milkshake recipes, I have shared many milkshakes and smoothies on this website. From avocado, strawberry apple to kiwi melon, but this chikku milkshake is value for money milkshake. Very next day I made chikku milkshake again and clicked these pictures for recipe.

I still can feel the contempt feeling that I had after having a glass full of chikoo milkshake.
I didn’t even had lunch and made chilled chikku shake. It took me 3 hours to complete my work and return home exhausted. To fill the form, to verify the form etc. The other day (in the month of May) I went to a government office and as usual it took quite a long time. I love the cold feeling of having a sip of this smoothie on a hot afternoon. My favorite is ofcourse chikoo milkshake. I have grown up eating this humble fruit in all forms. You go anywhere in India: on street, in train, in bus stops you will find a vendor with a handcart selling chikoo. I consider banana and chikoo a “volksfrucht” a true people’s fruit that everyone can afford. This fruit is the value for money fruit ever.
