6 easy fruit shakes to stay cool during the heatwave

Watermelon is one of the best summer fruits because it is naturally packed with water. Blend chilled watermelon cubes with a few mint leaves and a little honey for a refreshing drink that feels light on the stomach.

It is perfect after coming home from the heat or long travel in the afternoon sun.

Muskmelon is widely eaten during Indian summers because of its cooling effect. Blend ripe muskmelon pieces with cold milk and a few ice cubes for a creamy shake that works well as both a snack and summer drink.

Adding a little cardamom powder gives it an extra refreshing taste.

A classic Indian summer favourite, mango banana shake is filling, sweet and cooling when served chilled. Use ripe mangoes instead of extra sugar for a more natural taste.

This shake is especially useful during heatwaves because it keeps you full and helps avoid tiredness caused by the heat.

Litchi is one of the most refreshing seasonal fruits available during peak summer months. Blend peeled litchis with cold milk or curd for a smooth shake that tastes naturally sweet without needing much sugar.

It is light, juicy and ideal for extremely hot evenings.

Pineapple and coconut together create a tropical-style summer drink that feels instantly cooling. Blend pineapple chunks with tender coconut water and soft coconut flesh for a naturally refreshing shake.

This combination works especially well during humid weather conditions.

For people who prefer slightly tangy drinks during summer, strawberry curd shake is a simple option. Blend strawberries with chilled curd, honey and ice cubes for a thick and cooling drink.

Curd also helps the body feel lighter during hot weather compared to heavy cream-based beverages.
