Sapota (Chikoo) Smoothie

I have never been a sapota/sapodilla  (known as chikoo in hindi/urdu) fan. Perhaps it was  it’s unappetising brown looks or something else that never really appealed to me. However, when I tasted chikoo smoothie at a friend’s  place I loved the taste and texture. I had found a way in which I could enjoy this high fibre and anti oxidant rich fruit.
Here in Canada it’s hard to find fresh chikoos but frozen slices are easily available at “desi” (Indo-Pak) grocery stores. That’s actually better for me since frozen fruits result in a a thicker smoothie and also eliminate the need for ice, plus there’s the convenience factor too – no peeling, deseeding or chopping. Studies suggest that frozen fruits are just as nutritious as the fresh ones since they are typically flash frozen at the peak of freshness, which maximizes nutrients.
