A custard-apple milkshake or smoothie is a creamy, sweet beverage made from the pulpy flesh of the custard apple (also known as sugar-apple or sweetsop) blended with milk or yogurt. It is a popular tropical drink, especially in South Asian and Southeast Asian countries like India, Thailand, and the Philippines, where the fruit is native and abundant.
This drink is naturally high in carbohydrates and sugars from the fruit and any added sweeteners, with a moderate amount of fat if made with whole milk or yogurt. It provides a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.
