Tier: Good source (just under 5 g per 100 kcal before rounding). Sugars are natural but high: about 15 g from chikoo and 20 g lactose from milk and milk powder, about 34 g in all. A juice-centre version with 2 tbsp sugar and a scoop of ice cream typically adds about 200 kcal and 30–35 g more sugar. Values checked against IFCT 2017 on 14 Oct 2026.

Ingredients
Method
Halve the chikoos, scoop out the flesh and remove every seed (they are hard and inedible).
Blend chikoo with milk powder and half the milk until smooth.
Add the remaining milk, nutmeg and ice; blend 15 seconds. Serve at once — chikoo darkens quickly.
Protein optimisation
- Where the protein comes from
- Milk supplies 8 g, milk powder 5 g, chikoo 1 g.
- Boost
- 15 g whey (+12 g protein, +60 kcal), or 50 g hung curd (+3 g protein, +45 kcal).
Variations, serving and storage
- Regional
- Chikoo-dates shake — a winter version with 1 date (adds about 25 kcal and 6 g sugar).
- Substitution
- Ripe banana or papaya when chikoo is out of season.
- Storage
- Drink within 30 minutes; the colour and flavour fade.
- Food safety
- Use pasteurised milk; wash chikoos before cutting.
- Meal prep
- Not suitable.
