Palmfruit/ Nungu/ Ice Apple Chocolate milkshake

Palm fruit or Nungu is found a lot in India during Summers. The Palm fruit is a natural coolant and it contains many health benefits and also has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. It contains various vitamins too.

One such Summer's morning we were passing and found an array of vendors selling Palm fruit and we ended up buying it. We bought about 6 fruits for Rs 25 which was decent.

I've never liked to have the fruit as it is because of its slimy nature. However, hub had it and suggested I make a drink out of it.

I quickly took the blender, no measurements just eyeballed all the ingredients and had a refreshing delicious drink and I didn't feel the taste of the fruit at all. I liked to have it in the wine glass for some reason and I even got hold of a straw to get the summery effect.

Here's what I did.
Steps:
I added 3 nos of the fruit carefully peeled to a blender.
I added about 1/2 cup chilled milk to the blender along with some dark chocolate cubes.
For flavor and enhanced taste you can add 1 tsp of vanilla essence and 2 tsp of sugar.
Blend all this together for about 1 or 2 mins till it forms a milkshake consistency.
Pour in a glass and enjoy.

P.S- I did not add ice cubes, sugar and vanilla essence. You can add all of it for enhanced taste.

Here's a picture I managed to take.


 It was lovely and I will definitely try it again.

Until next time.
