Ingredients To Make This Strawberry Lassi Recipe

To make a glass of Strawberry Lassi, you’ll need:

Fresh Strawberries: I am using fresh strawberries to make this recipe, but you can even use frozen strawberries. Alternatively, you can use strawberry preserves to make this recipe as well. Start with adding 1 tablespoon of strawberry preserve per serving and add more if needed.

Plain Greek Yogurt: Use plain full-fat Greek yogurt to make this lassi recipe.

Milk: I use whole milk in this recipe, but you can also use 2% milk, or coconut milk in this recipe.

Sugar or Honey: You can either use sugar, honey, or maple syrup as a sweetener in this recipe.

Cardamom Powder: I recommend using freshly pounded green cardamom powder.

How to Make Strawberry Lassi

Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly. Cut the stem off the strawberries. Now use a metal straw to remove the core of the strawberries.

Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the strawberries, yogurt, milk, sugar (or honey), and cardamom powder (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.

Adjust the Consistency: Check the consistency of the lassi. If it’s too thick, add more milk and blend again.

Add Ice: Toss in a few ice cubes and give it a quick blend to chill the lassi.

Serve: Pour the lassi into tall glasses. Garnish with a sliced strawberry for an appealing presentation.
