METHOD · 4 STEPS

prep · ~2 min
Prep the chikoo.
Peel the chikoo, remove any large seeds, and roughly chop the flesh. The fruit should be very ripe and soft for the best natural sweetness.
TIPChikoo is ripe when it yields slightly to pressure and the skin looks slightly dusty-brown and rough. Avoid hard, unripe chikoo.
mix · ~1 min
Blend the yogurt base.
1.Add the chopped chikoo, chilled yogurt, whey protein powder, and honey to a blender.
2.Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 30 to 40 seconds.
3.Scrape down the sides once to ensure everything is well combined.
TIPFor a thicker, creamier bowl, use hung curd instead of regular yogurt. Simply hang fresh yogurt in a muslin cloth for an hour before blending.
assemble · ~2 min
Assemble the bowls.
1.Divide the blended chikoo-yogurt mixture evenly between two bowls.
2.Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
3.Scatter the chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, and crushed flax seeds on top.
4.Finish with a light pinch of cinnamon powder and a tiny pinch of sea salt.
TIPThe tiny pinch of salt brightens all the flavours — don't skip it.
serve
Serve immediately, or chill for 10 minutes to let the flavours meld.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

7 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Use fully ripe chikoo that yields to gentle pressure for maximum natural sweetness and a smooth blend.
2
Hung curd or Greek yogurt gives a thicker, creamier base than regular yogurt—hang fresh curd in muslin for 1 hour.
3
Blend the chikoo and yogurt first, then add protein powder to prevent clumping and ensure even mixing.
4
Toast almonds and pumpkin seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes to deepen their nutty flavor before topping.
5
Don’t skip the pinch of sea salt—it balances the sweetness and enhances the fruit and yogurt flavors.
6
For a colder, thicker bowl, refrigerate the blended base for 10-15 minutes before adding toppings.
7
If the blend is too thick, thin it with a splash of milk or water rather than more yogurt to keep protein density.

RECIPE VARIATIONS

Adapt it for your goals.

vegan

Vegan

Replace yogurt with thick coconut or soy yogurt and use a plant-based protein powder; swap honey with maple syrup or agave for a fully plant-based bowl.

low carb

Low-carb

Skip the honey and use a sugar-free vanilla protein powder; add extra flax seeds or chia seeds for fiber to keep carbs minimal while maintaining sweetness from ripe chikoo.

nut free

Nut-free

Replace almonds with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds; ensure protein powder is nut-free (e.g., pea or rice protein) for a school-safe or allergy-friendly option.
