  • For a thinner lassi, add a little more milk kefir.
  • For a traditional lassi, use 1 cup of Greek yogurt + ½ cup milk instead of kefir.
  • Don't like heat?  Add a pinch of ground cardamom instead of cayenne.
  • Mango strawberry lassi: Use ½ cup mango + ½ cup strawberries instead of all mango.
