7 Indian Fruit Smoothies That Make Your Day Better

3. Jackfruit-Protein Power Smoothie — Ripe Jackfruit, Greek Yogurt

Jackfruit gives a sweet, tropical body that blends into a thick, satisfying smoothie. Use one cup of ripe jackfruit pieces (fresh or frozen), half a cup of Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder, a tablespoon of roasted flaxseeds, and a small pinch of cinnamon or cardamom. Blend with half a cup of milk or plant milk until smooth. Jackfruit has natural sugars, so watch portions if you’re monitoring carbohydrate intake. In North America, frozen jackfruit is widely available in Asian markets and some mainstream stores. It’s a great post-workout option when combined with protein because it provides quick carbs and the dairy or protein powder adds muscle-repair nutrients. A little lime juice can balance the sweetness if the fruit is overly ripe.
