Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ⅓ - ½ cup milk or non-dairy milk or water to soak chia seeds
  • 400 gm strawberries ((approximately 14-15 strawberries))
  • 1½ cups plain yogurt
  • 3-4 tablespoon sugar or choice of sweetener
  • ½ cup ice

Instructions
 

  • Take chia seeds in a small bowl and add milk.
  • Instead of milk, you can also use water or non-dairy milk like almond milk or cashew milk.
  • Stir well and soak the chia seeds for 10 minutes.
  • Wash the strawberries with water and allow them to completely dry. Then hull and chop the strawberries.
  • Add sliced strawberries, yogurt, sugar, and ice into the blender.
  • Blend everything until well combined and of smooth consistency.

Serving The Strawberry and Chia Lassi

  • Add 1-2 tablespoon (as much you prefer) soaked chia seeds into each serving glass. Then pour the lassi and add some more soaked chia seeds on the top.
  • Serve the chilled lassi immediately or refrigerate until the time of serving.

Garnishing Suggestions

  • Garnish the lassi with mint leaves and sliced strawberries.
  • You can also top the lassi with some chopped pistachios.
  • Add a scoop of vanilla or strawberry ice cream to enjoy the lassi as a dessert.
  • Top the lassi with a dollop of whipped cream.

Storing The Lassi

  • It is best to serve the strawberry lassi immediately or chill it in the fridge for few hours before serving.
  • If you have leftovers, you can refrigerate the lassi for up to a day.

Notes

  1. For the flavored lassi, you can add a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
  2. Instead of plain yogurt, you can also use vanilla or strawberry yogurt. If using sweetened vanilla or strawberry yogurt, add the sugar as needed.
  3. Because of the strawberries, the lassi will not be too thick. So for the thicker lassi, use Greek or hung yogurt.
  4. Instead of sugar, you can add honey, maple syrup, or agave for sweetness.
  5. Do not use sour yogurt to avoid too much sugar in the recipe.
