It happens to everyone! You buy pounds & pounds of fresh strawberries from farmer 's market and inevitably, they get spoilt in 3-4 days before you could finish them off! Instead, you can use those ripe/overly-ripe strawberries to make this tasty strawberry-banana lassi and.... voila!!!
You've just made yourself & your family a healthy drink to go with breakfast/snacks!
I usually make strawberry juice with milk. Replacing that with buttermilk was definitely a welcome change. Strawberry-banana lassi tasted similar to the one that you get in Jamba Juice!
Try this at home, and you will probably save lot of money & time waiting in long lines of those juice stores!!
Complexity - Easy
Prep time - 10 mins
Cook time - NA
Serves - 1 cup
Ingredients
Buttermilk - 1/2 cup (full-fat)
Sugar - 1 tbsp
Salt - a pinch
Ripe Banana - 1/2 no
Strawberries - 6-8 nos (medium sized)
Water - 2-3 tbsp
Ice cubes - 2-3 nos
Method
Blend strawberry, banana, sugar, salt with 2-3 tbsp of water using a blender. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the juice and discard the residual.
Blend the strained juice, ice cubes & buttermilk until frothy. Garnish with a strawberry / a thin slice of banana and enjoy!
Note:
- You can totally skip sugar and replace it with honey (equal amounts for sugar)
- It is okay to leave out banana if you don't have them in stock. You 'll get to drink strawberry lassi which is equally tasty!
- You can also use partly skimmed buttermilk, but the texture of the lassi might get compromised.
Nice idea of using strawberries in a different way...
ReplyDeleteHealthy and refreshing lassi.. looks nice !!
ReplyDeleteThank you author for making this kind of yummy dessert and I also appreciate your work because not everyone can make this kind of recipe so perfectly but you have made it done. Also if you want then I'll suggest you to try some baklava dessert because nowadays fast baklava delivery is available for online baklava buy. Also from there you'll get the real taste of baklava.
