    • Strawberry Lassi

    Strawberry lassi is a refreshing twist on the traditional and classic Indian lassi, a yogurt-based drink typically made with "dahi." This strawberry version mixes fresh strawberries with plain Greek yogurt and milk or water, adding a sweet, fruity flavor. It's a perfect, cooling treat for warm days.

    Strawberry lassi highlights the sweet, fruity flavor of sweet strawberries, offering a delicious alternative to the traditional mango lassi. Lassi, in general, is not only tasty but also beneficial for health.

    This ​strawberry yogurt drink is very easy to make at home, Indian lassi is delicious and indulgent. It's the perfect drink for a refreshing breakfast or a snack. Its creamy texture and variety of flavors make it a real treat at any time of the day.

    Ingredients You Need

    You need these ingredients to make this homemade strawberry lassi recipe :

    • Yogurt: For the traditional recipe, use dahi, which you can find in specialty stores, or, like me, use Greek plain yogurt or another tangy yogur or a vegan yogurt for a vegan version.
    • Milk: Use cow's milk or a plant-based milk for a thinner consistency like almond milk or oat milk. You can also substitute with cold water or ice cream.
    • Vanilla and Spices: Optionally, add pure vanilla extract and a pinch of cardamom powder.
    • Sugar: Optional, if you want a sweeter drink, add a natural sweetener like maple syrup or honey.
    • Strawberry: Use fresh, ripe strawberries or frozen ones for a colder drink. If using fresh strawberries, you can add crushed ice for an extra icy beverage.

    Tips for this recipe

    • Use Ripe Strawberries: For the best flavor, choose ripe and juicy strawberries. For a colder drink and a more thicker lassi, use frozen strawberries.
    • Use a Powerful Blender: A blender is ideal, but if you don't have one, a hand blender will work well to blend the fruits smoothly.
    • Sweeten to Taste: Adjust the amount of sugar or honey based on the sweetness of the strawberries.
    • Add a Hint of Cardamom: A pinch of ground cardamom can add a subtle, pleasant flavor.
    • Add more strawberry flavor: Add strawberry puree, use strawberry yogurt, or incorporate freeze-dried strawberry powder for extra flavor.
    • Serve Chilled: Lassi is best served cold, so add ice cubes or chill it before serving.

    Variations & Substitutions

    • Mint Strawberry Lassi: Add a handful of fresh mint leaves to the blender for a refreshing twist.
    • Coconut Strawberry Lassi: Replace regular milk with coconut milk and add a spoonful of shredded coconut for a tropical flavor.
    • Vegan Strawberry Lassi: Use plant-based yogurt and milk, such as almond or soy, for a dairy-free option.
    • Banana Strawberry Lassi: Blend in a ripe banana for added creaminess and sweetness.
    • Strawberry rose lassi: Add a few drops of rose water or rose syrup for a subtle floral note.
    • Strawberry Mango Lassi: Mix in fresh mango pieces or mango puree for a fruity blend.

    Recipe Questions

    Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

    Yes, frozen strawberries work well and help make the lassi colder and thicker. They are a great alternative when fresh strawberries aren't available.

    How can I sweeten strawberry lassi?

    You can make a sweet lassi and keep a healthy drink by adding sugar, honey, maple syrup, or any other natural sweetener or you can add just a white sugar. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste and the ripeness of the strawberries.

    Can I add other fruits to the lassi?

    Yes, you can mix in other fruits like mango, banana, or mixed berries for a different flavor twist. This adds variety and makes the drink even more nutritious.
