Ingredients

  • 1 cup non dairy milk, I like oat milk or almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons raw pistachios, plus more for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour optional
  • 6-7 dates
  • zest of ½ lemon
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup Non-Dairy yogurt , I like kite hill plain almond milk yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sugar optional as needed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the milk, nuts, almond flour and dates to a blender and blend for a minute then let it sit for 5 minutes and then repeat 3 or 4 times until all the nuts are well blended in.
  2. Then add yogurt, lemon zest and cinnamon and blend again.
  3. Taste and adjust flavor, add more maple syrup or sugar if you want it sweeter and blend again.
  4. Then pour it over in glasses at least ½ filled with ice cubes and serve. Optionally top the lassi with some chopped pistachios.
  5. This makes a really thick lassi. You can add ice cubes to the mixture when you add yogurt to blend some in so that it becomes a little lighter.Store: refrigerate in closed container for upto 3 days

Notes

  • Variation flavors: add some vanilla or cardamom
  • Pistachio sub: Use walnuts or pecans
  • Yogurt sub: Lassi is a yogurt drink. Without yogurt it would be a milkshake. You can use thick non dairy milk such as coconut cream or cashew milk instead for a baklava milkshakeZ
