Muskmelon Shake Recipe
Muskmelon shake is a refreshing, creamy and flavourful drink that's perfect for hot days or when you want a quick, nutritious snack. Here is how you can prepare it at home using different kitchen appliances:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups muskmelon, peeled, seeded and chopped
- 1 cup milk of your choice
- 1/4 cup Greek yoghurt or plain yoghurt (for extra creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder (optional for an aromatic twist)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Instructions:
- Begin by peeling, seeding and chopping the muskmelon into small pieces.
- Take a kitchen blender (like the Crompton Ameo Blend) and add the chopped muskmelon, milk, yoghurt, honey, cardamom powder and ice cubes into the jar.
- Blend everything until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture. If the musk melon milkshake turns out too thick for your liking, feel free to add more milk to get the desired consistency.
- Once your muskmelon shake is ready, pour it into glasses and serve immediately. For an extra touch, garnish with a sprinkle of cardamom powder or a small slice of muskmelon on top.

Useful Tips to Make Your Muskmelon Shake More Delicious
A musk melon milkshake is already a treat on its own, but with a few tweaks and additions, you can elevate its flavour and texture. Here are tips to make your muskmelon or Kharbooja shake even more delicious:
- Enhance the Flavour with Spices: Cardamom powder is a fantastic addition. It gives the shake a unique, aromatic flavour. If you enjoy experimenting with spices, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for a different flavour profile.
- Add Protein for a Healthy Boost: For an extra dose of protein, add a spoonful of protein powder or a handful of nuts (like cashews or almonds) to the shake.
- Boost the Creaminess: If you like your shakes extra creamy, use full-fat yoghurt or coconut yogurt. You can also blend in a little coconut cream or a splash of heavy cream.
- Mix in Other Fruits: You can add a handful of other fruits like mango, pineapple or banana to create a tropical twist.

FAQs on Muskmelon Shake
Can I mix muskmelon with milk?
Muskmelon can be mixed with milk to create a delicious and creamy shake. It pairs well with both dairy and plant-based milks like almond milk.
Is it better to use a hand blender or a regular blender for muskmelon shakes?
Both a hand blender and a regular blender can work well, but a hand blender might be more convenient if you are making smaller batches or want to blend directly in the glass.
Can I prepare muskmelon shakes without a blender?
While blenders or food processors are the most effective, you can try mashing the muskmelon manually and stirring in milk and other ingredients. However, a smooth consistency is harder to achieve without a blender or hand blender.
