Lassi is a popular Indian beverage made by blending yogurt with water. Different flavors are then added to enhance the flavor.
Since my kids love fruits, I am always trying to sneak in their favorite fruits in yogurt, or should I say sneaking in yogurt in their favorite fruits! Ever since I started making this Lassi last summer, it has become my kids favorite. Mango Lassi goes second on the chart !
Ingredients (makes 2 servings)
- 1 cup plain low fat yogurt
- 1 cup chopped seedless Watermelon
- 6-7 strawberries
- Sugar/Honey ( to taste )
Method
For watermelon ice
- Blend few pieces of watermelon in blender till smooth
- Pour in ice trays and freeze.
For Lassi
- In a blender, add watermelon slices along with strawberries, to make a smooth puree
- Add yogurt and blend again. Watermelon is almost 90% water, so you may not need to add any water at all
- Check for consistency and sweetness, then add water and/or sugar if required, before blending again
- Top it with watermelon ice and mint springs
Enjoy this cool refreshing Lassi which is so Berry Melony ! And feel the fresh taste of Watermelon ice cubes melting as you slowly sip through it !
This Watermelon beverage goes to Maheshwari's AFAM, hosted this month by Ashwini with the theme "Melons"
