I have a huge sweet tooth, which I try to keep in check with pseudo-sweet treats like fruits and smoothies. One of my go-to smoothies is mango lassi -- actually a yogurt-based drink served in most Indian restaurants.
I love to have this as a treat between painting sessions -- I'm trying really hard not to have drinks around while I paint, since they tend to end up with paint in them!

MANGO LASSI, makes about 2 servings
Recipe adapted from Simply Recipes
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup chopped mangoes (I used frozen ones, which give the lassi a nice cool texture)
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp cardamom -- optional, but really what gives an "Indian" flavor to this (and to other Indian desserts like kheer)
INSTRUCTIONS: Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Adjust sugar and cardamom levels to taste, then serve cold!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
