Lassi, a yogurt drink that is common in India, is becoming popular all over the world. It is a refreshing summer drink to combat the heat. I normally just like it plain with no fruit, but once in a while, I will fix it with fruit. It is a great substitute for a light lunch or a mid-day snack. My youngest sister and her daughters love it after a workout at the gym.
Raspberry Lassi (Raspberry Yogurt Drink)
Lassi, a refreshing, healthy yogurt drink that is common in India, is now popular all over the world.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt (fat-free, low-fat, your choice)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (or berries of your choice)
- 2-3 tbsp sugar (optional or sugar substitute)
- 1 cup ice or ice cubes (crushed)
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients with a ½ cup of crushed ice in a blender (or hand whisk) and blend until smooth. Taste for sugar. Save the extra ice in case you want the drink colder.
- Pour into long stemware or regular glasses. Garnish with chopped raspberries or raspberries on a cocktail stick.
Notes
You can substitute 1 cup of fresh raspberries for 1 cup of frozen raspberries.
You can convert this into a milkshake by substituting the yogurt with a cup of milk, almond milk or oat milk. Just make sure both milk and fruit are well chilled, so the milk does not split. Adjust the sugar to your liking. Serve with dollops of ice cream and chopped nuts.
