A refreshing and creamy yogurt-based drink, blending sweet strawberries with tangy yogurt for a perfect summer cooler.
Why it's healthy
This lassi is a good source of probiotics from yogurt, which support gut health and digestion. The yogurt also provides high-quality protein for muscle maintenance and calcium, essential for strong bones and teeth. Strawberries are packed with Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that boosts the immune system, and dietary fiber, which aids in satiety and digestive regularity. Using a natural sweetener like honey in moderation provides energy without the sharp spike associated with refined sugars, making this a nourishing and balanced beverage.
Ingredients
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
1/4 cup milk or water
1 tbsp honey or sugar, or to taste
A pinch of ground cardamom (optional)
Instructions
Combine the yogurt, strawberries, milk (or water), sweetener, and optional cardamom in a blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary, blending again for a few seconds to incorporate.
