We all have embraced the smoothie and acai bowl trend to lose weight. However, we often forget our homegrown lassi a refreshing drink made by diluting fresh curd or yogurt in water and blending it to achieve a cooling, nutritious drink.

With the onset of summertime, now is the perfect time to bring back the amazing lassi in your kitchen. You may also find packaged lassi available in stores but it is best to make one instantly at home. Whats more, you can also experiment with various other ingredients to create a new variety of lassi everyday.
