Ingredients
  

For the Lassi:
  • 1 cup plain kefir or plain yogurt
  • 1 frozen banana adds natural sweetness
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger grated
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons honey to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest (optional)

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spatula
  • Serving glasses

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by collecting all the ingredients mentioned above. Make sure your banana is frozen to create that creamy texture.
  2. In your blender, combine the 1 cup of plain kefir or yogurt, 1 frozen banana, 2 teaspoons of grated fresh ginger, and 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice.
  3. Now, it’s time to add the 1/4 teaspoon of ground turmeric. If you opted for it, also include the 1/2 teaspoon of orange zest for a touch of citrus flavor.
  4. Add 2 teaspoons of honey to the blender. You can adjust the sweetness according to your taste preferences.
  5. Blend all the ingredients on high until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of water or more kefir/yogurt to adjust the thickness.
  6. Give your Turmeric Lassi a taste. Add more honey if you prefer it sweeter or more lemon juice for extra tang.
  7. Pour the lassi into serving glasses, and if desired, garnish with a sprinkle of turmeric or a twist of lemon peel. Enjoy your refreshing drink immediately!

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; shake before serving.
  • Customize with seasonal fruits like mango or pineapple for variety.
