Ellu juice or sesame seeds milkshake recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. Ellu juice is prepared using sesame seeds, jaggery and milk. This is a very easy and tasty juice. Even though its a milkshake it is popular by name juice. Chilled ellu juice or sesame seeds milkshake is prepared and sold in many shops in Karavali region of Karnataka. Especially during hot summer days you can find or get to drink this tasty and creamy juice.

Ellu or sesame seeds are considered as hot if roasted. But unroasted sesame seeds are considered as cold or they will help in reducing the body heat. Here in this recipe I have not roasted the sesame seeds as I am posting this as summer refreshing drink. So depending on he season, if required, you may roast it slightly and then grind it.

Sesame seeds have numerous health benefits. They are said to be rich in calcium, copper, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, molybdenum, vitamin B1 and selenium. They are also a good source of dietary fiber. They are said to be very beneficial in preventing or treating asthma, blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, colon cancer, osteoporosis, Migraine and diabetic heart disease. These seeds help women who are experiencing unpleasant symptoms associated with menopause.
