Strawberry Lassi to Beat the Heat

On our regular days, when my husband and I get home from work, we are super hungry and grab anything edible that's in sight. Most of the time, that happens to be a bag of chips, which is not very healthy. The aim is to be full just for an hour or two, until dinner is ready. One day, I made Strawberry Lassi and we got hooked to it. It is cooling, refreshing, low fat and much healthier than potato chips. Also in scorching temperatures during summers like the current one, it helps keep the body cool and hydrated. The ingredients are very simple and you can tweak the recipe to your preference. Also you can use other fruits such as mango or pineapple to make variations of lassi.


This recipe serves two.

Ingredients
Skim Milk - 1 and 1/3 cup
Plain Yogurt - 2/3 cup
Strawberries - 8-10
Cardamom Powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Ice Cubes - 3-4
Honey - 1 tablespoon, or to taste (you can also use sugar, agave nectar, or sugar substitute)

Procedure
1) Blend all the ingredients together for about 10-15 seconds. That's it!
