A lassi is an Indian smoothie, which is a refreshing drink made from fruit and yogurt, with mango lassi being the most popular. It can be served for breakfast, as a cocktail, a dessert, or anytime you wish. I keep my strawberries for up to five days in the refrigerator; after that they tend to shrivel or mold. Strawberries have lots of vitamin C, which is an effective antioxidant that can help prevent cancer and helps heal cuts and wounds.
Serves: 2
Prep time: 5 minutes
Refrigerator life: 2 days, shake before using
4 tablespoons plain yogurt or plain soy yogurt (regular or fat free)
4 tablespoons sugar (you can use less sugar if the strawberries are very sweet)
¼ cup (65 ml) water
5 ice cubes plus crushed ice to half fill 2 tall glasses
