** Here is my simple and quick recipe for “Chilled Chickoo Banana Chocolate Milk Shake” ... my style ...

** Wash and peel off the skin (I retain them as, I feel they contain lots of vitamins and fiber) of 3-4 large sized ripe chickoo's/ sapota. Remove the inner white pith and discard the seeds too within. Chop them into fine pieces. 

** Peel off the skin of 2-3 ripe banana/ kele/ bale hannu and chop them into medium sized pieces. Keep it ready aside. You can use any variety of ripe banana, I used the small ellaichi variety, if larger in size, use accordingly. 

** Add both chickoo and banana cut pieces in a blender along with one glass of chilled full fat milk (doodh/ haalu) and 1/2 cup of chocolate topping syrup (Store bought) and blend to a very smooth paste adding more milk if necessary. 

** Now add 1-2 cups of cold milk, 1 tsp Vanilla essence (Optional), 3-4 ice cubes (Crushed) and blend well till you get a thick consistency milk shake. I have not added any sugar, if you need, you may add a few teaspoons of the same.

** Remove and pour out into a vessel and check consistency and sweetness, and adjust accordingly and mix well. You can make variations in addition of chickoo and bananas and add according to your personal preference. 

** “Chilled Chickoo Banana Chocolate Milk Shake” is ready to be served. Pour into serving glasses and serve them cold immediately. This milk shake has to be very cold but need not be chilled or topped with ice cubes. Go ahead, prepare and enjoy with your family and friends on weekends/ holidays, it tastes awesome. 

** Just like to suggest that this drink tastes best served just cold without topping with extra ice cube or over chilled. Again, you need to try this cold drink when chickoo is in season, as bananas are always available. Fruit based milk shakes are actually a very healthy choice to be relished especially for growing children, however, one needs to take caution and consume sparingly as they are high in calories.
