Strawberry Lassi is a classic refreshing drink from India. It is yogurt based and minimally sweetened, a perfect treat for the whole family!
Don’t be intimidated by the name, Strawberry Lassi is really just a simple yogurt smoothie. It has been a staple in India for many years, comes in a variety of flavors, and is enjoyed by children and adults alike.
This is one of those magical recipes the whole family will like 😉
My kids LOVE to make Strawberry Lassi! It’s easy to whip up anytime because it features simple ingredients like plain Greek yogurt and frozen strawberries. It’s sweet enough for the kiddos and healthy enough for me 🙂
You can easily customize this recipe to your liking, using any sweetener you want. I usually add a few packets of stevia or monk fruit to cut down on sugar, both are natural sugar-free options. Honey is another great option, but feel free to use anything you have on hand and just sweeten to taste.
Several years ago, I knew a woman who was known for her elaborate dishes. She would always say, “The eye eats first!” and this was always true for her dishes. She once turned an ordinary pasta dish into a delicate tower of perfectly placed noodles.
While a recipe should be able to shine based purely on its flavor, it sure is more fun to eat or drink when it’s presented in a beautiful way. So for fun, I often serve a Strawberry Lassi in a fun glass with a party straw, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt and a fresh or frozen strawberry.
Whether you want to dress up this drink or just make the simple recipe, this Strawberry Lassi will stand out all on its own.
Here are a few great ways you can enjoy a Strawberry Lassi:
- As an after school snack
- For a healthy dessert option
- Post-workout smoothie
- Breakfast
The possibilities are endless. My kids love this recipe any way it’s served, and so do I! I have yet to make a batch without having to make seconds.
