Raspberry Lassi Recipe
A traditional Ayurvedic beverage, lassi is India's answer to the smoothie. This easy recipe contains choice of fruit with probiotic rich yogurt and milk.
Ingredients
- 1 cup yogurt or kefir preferably raw
- 1/2 cup milk preferably raw
- 1 cup fresh fruit
- 2 tsp raw honey optional
- 2 drops stevia extract optional
- 1 cup ice optional
Instructions
-
Pour yogurt into clean, wide mouthed, quart sized mason jar
-
Add milk to the mason jar.
-
Add fresh fruit of choice. I used raspberries. Mango cubes, sliced peaches or strawberries work well too.
-
Add optional honey or stevia drops and ice if desired.
-
Blend for 15 seconds with a hand-held immersion blender.
-
Serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers.
Recipe Notes
I know I will get a lot of emails about this, so I thought I'd mention that the mug of raspberry lassi has a stainless steel straw. I've tried glass straws (they break too easily), bamboo straws (they taste funny), and paper straws (too flimsy), and by far stainless steel is our family's favorite to replace plastic straws.
If you want to add ice to your lassi, use a regular blender instead of a handheld stick blender.
