Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
1 cup plain yogurt (can be Greek yogurt for a thicker consistency)
1/2 cup cold milk (adjust according to desired consistency)
2 tablespoons honey or sugar (adjust sweetness to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional for a hint of spice)
A few ice cubes (optional for a chilled lassi)
A pinch of salt (optional, enhances the flavor)
A handful of chopped nuts (such as almonds or pistachios) for garnish
A few mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and slicing the bananas. If you prefer a slightly thinner lassi, you can adjust the amount of milk you use based on your preference.
Blend: In a blender, combine the sliced bananas, plain yogurt, cold milk, honey (or sugar), and ground cardamom. Add a pinch of salt if using. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Adjust Consistency: If the lassi is too thick, you can add more milk until you reach the desired consistency. For a thicker, smoothie-like texture, keep the milk quantity minimal.
Add Ice (Optional): If you prefer your lassi chilled, add a few ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is crushed and the lassi is cold.
Serve: Pour the lassi into glasses. For an added touch, garnish with chopped nuts and a few mint leaves.
This Banana Lassi is a refreshing drink that combines the natural sweetness of bananas with the creamy texture of yogurt. Perfect for a hot day or as a nourishing snack!
