I love Indian food.
One of the things I look for immediately when handed a menu at an Indian food restaurant is a mango lassi. They are so refreshing! Like a shake, but not really. Like juice, but, better. Sweet, but, not overly so.
I finally decided to try and make my own, and put my own little twist on it. And, I have to say, it was sooooo good!
I decided to go non-dairy, and also to allow the sweetness of the yogurt (which was already sweetened with cane sugar) to replace most of the added sugar. I did add a tiny bit of dark sugar, and also some pistachios.
It really was delicious and I hope you will give it a try!
