Green Lassi

1 serving

5 minutes

Green lassi is a refreshing drink from Indian cuisine that combines the creamy texture of natural yogurt with the vibrant green of spinach. The base of lassi is rooted in the ancient tradition of using fermented dairy products to cool down in India's hot climate. This version of the drink features a light tang from lemon juice that harmoniously complements the softness of yogurt. Basil adds subtle herbal notes, while salt and pepper enhance the flavor depth. Green lassi not only refreshes but also nourishes the body with beneficial nutrients. An ideal choice for those seeking healthy eating, it pairs well with light snacks or spicy Indian dishes. It should be served chilled to fully reveal its rich flavor.
