    Ingredients you'll need

    Scroll down to the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and amounts.

    INGREDIENTS NEEDED to make strawberry lassi.
    1. Strawberry - Select sweet, ripe strawberries that are red all the way through. If you are looking for more ways to use extra strawberries, try this strawberry kulfi or strawberry muffins recipe.
    2. Yogurt - I opted for Greek-style yogurt for its thicker, creamier consistency in the strawberry lassi. Alternatively, plain or homemade yogurt can be used.
    3. Milk - Opt for whole or skim milk; however, I suggest avoiding fat-free milk.
    4. Sugar - Traditionally, Indian lassi recipes are sweetened with white sugar, but you can also use honey or maple syrup.
    5. Cardamom - While ground cardamom is optional, it adds an authentic taste to the strawberry lassi.

    Recipe tips

    • Best blenders – A high speed blender like Vitamix or NutriBullet is great for smoothies.
    • Sweeten to taste – Adjust sugar depending on your taste and sweetness of the berries used. Make sure that your fruit is super ripe for some natural sweetness.
    • Sugar - Honey, jaggery, maple syrup or agave can be used instead of plain sugar. Stick with white sugar for a more authentic tasting strawberry lassi.
    • Use sweet ripe strawberries - They will give the best tasting drink.
    • Make it vegan - Use almond milk yogurt and skip regular milk to make it vegan.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can it be made without yogurt?

    By definition, lassi is a yogurt based drink. It would technically not be a strawberry lassi without yogurt!

    How to select strawberries?

    The brighter and darker the color, the sweeter the strawberry. Choose berries that have a natural shine with minimal discoloration and fresh green caps without any whiteness around the stems.

    How long does it last in the fridge?

    Refrigerate strawberry lassi in sealed jars; it will stay fresh for up to two days. You can also freeze it in ice cube trays or popsicle molds to enjoy as a refreshing frozen treat later.

    Can I use frozen strawberries?

    Yes, you can use frozen strawberries, though sometimes they may not be as sweet as freshly picked ones in peak spring season. That's why I prefer using fresh, sweet, ripe strawberries for this strawberry lassi recipe.

    Instructions

    • Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.

    Notes

    When selecting strawberries. you can usually tell if it is sweet by looking at the color of the strawberry. If it has lighter parts near the stem, it's going to be more sour than a berry that is a brilliant red all over.
    Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of the strawberries used and your taste.
