Berry Melony Lassi

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"
