Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- ½ Cup Milk
- 15 Fresh or Frozen Strawberries
- ¼ Teaspoon Cardamom Powder
- 3-4 Teaspoons Sugar or Honey
- Ice Cubes (Optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly. If using frozen strawberries, allow them to thaw slightly for easier blending.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: In a blender, combine the Greek yogurt, milk, strawberries, cardamom powder, and sugar or honey. Add ice cubes if you prefer a chilled drink.
- Blend the Mixture: Blend all ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no strawberry chunks left.
- Serve: Pour the strawberry lassi into tall glasses. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cardamom powder or a strawberry on the rim for an elegant touch.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar or honey based on your taste preference.
- For a thinner consistency, add more milk; for a thicker lassi, reduce the milk amount.
- Using frozen strawberries helps to chill the drink without needing ice cubes, which can dilute the flavor as they melt.
- This recipe can be made vegan by substituting dairy yogurt with plant-based yogurt and using plant-based milk.
