About Strawberry Lassi

Strawberry Lassi is a fun twist on the classic Indian beverage, lassi.

Lassi is a popular Punjabi drink made using yogurt and has marked its place worldwide due to its refreshing taste. Whichever Indian restaurant you go to, you will find it on their menu.

Lassi can be made sweet or salty. You can make it plain or add various flavorings, fruits, and spices. Mango Lassi is one of the most popular versions of this drink, along with this strawberry-flavored lassi and Rose Lassi.

Strawberry lassi recipe is made by adding fresh or frozen strawberries to the traditional lassi recipe, giving it a fruity twist.

Ingredients

Strawberry lassi ingredients.

Strawberries – This drink can be made using fresh strawberries or frozen strawberries.

If using fresh berries, choose red and juicy strawberries, and do not pick the ones with soft patches or black marks. Also, do not choose light-colored strawberries, as they are often too tangy and not sweet.

If using frozen strawberries, then there is no need to thaw them before using them. Just add a few to the blender with the other ingredients.

In the summers, when the berries are in season and are very cheap, you can freeze them and keep using them around the year. Here is How To Freeze Strawberries at home.

You can also buy them in bulk from Costo to save some dollars.

Yogurt – I like to use plain full-fat yogurt (dahi, curd) to make strawberry lassi. You can also use Greek yogurt for a thicker and creamier lassi or low-fat yogurt for a healthier version. Strawberry-flavored yogurt also works great.

Milk – Add a little milk to thin down the lassi. I like to use whole milk (full-fat milk), but you can use skim or low-fat milk too.

Sweetener – Sugar is the traditional sweetener for lassi, but you can replace it with honey, maple syrup, agave syrup, or another sweetener of your choice. Sugar-free substitutes like stevia and monk fruit also work fine.

Others – To make the lassi extra creamy, replace half of the yogurt with half and half or low-fat cream. You can flavor it with some rose water or cardamom powder as well.

How To Make Strawberry Lassi

Wash 10.5 oz (300 g) of strawberries and wipe them using a kitchen cloth. Chop off the top leafy part and cut the strawberry into small pieces.

Note – If using frozen strawberries, then use them directly. If your blender is not powerful, thaw the frozen strawberries for 10 minutes for easy blending.

Add the chopped strawberries to a blender and blend until smooth.
