A lassi is a traditional Indian beverage made with yogurt, very much like a smoothie. There are many versions of lassis, both sweet and savory. This version is a sweet lassi sweetened with mango and sugar and lightly spiced with a little bit of aromatic citrusy cardamom.
This is a creamy, sweet, and refreshing drink. It pairs very well with spicy food and also makes a great breakfast or post-workout drink.
