Banana Lassi
Banana Lassi is a smooth, creamy drink blending plain yogurt with ripe bananas and caster sugar, served chilled with ice. The natural sweetness and creaminess of the banana combine with yogurt’s tang for a refreshing beverage. The optional addition of spices or fruit variations allows for customization, making it a versatile treat for warm weather or as a snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup PLAIN yogurt 200g
- 1 banana or 2 small, large, ripe
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender and process until smooth.
- Divide between two glasses and enjoy.
- Serve on its own or over ice.
Notes
- Use bananas that are ripe and spotted but not overly brown to ensure smooth blending and balanced sweetness.
- Serve over ice in warm weather to keep the lassi refreshingly cool.
- Caster sugar is optional depending on the natural sweetness of your bananas.
- Pulsing the blender first breaks down the ice for an even smoother texture.
- Add vanilla extract or spices like cinnamon and cardamom to vary the flavor.
- Freeze the blended mixture in popsicle molds for a cooling treat.
- Adjust yogurt and ice amounts to achieve your preferred thickness.
