Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 Apple chopped
- 1 Banana large, peeled and chopped
- 1 Pear chopped
- 1/3 cup Pomegranate Seeds
Sweetener & Spice
- 2 Tbsp Sugar or to taste
- 1/4 tsp Cardamom Powder
Instructions
- Combine the chopped apple, banana, pear, pomegranate seeds, milk, and sugar in a blender.
- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, creating a fruit puree. This helps ensure a creamy, evenly textured lassi.
- Add the chilled yogurt and cardamom powder to the blender.
- Blend again briefly until everything is just combined. Avoid over-blending, which can make the lassi runny.
- Pour the lassi into serving glasses. For an extra-chilled treat, consider refrigerating the lassi for a short time before serving.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing Mixed Fruit Lassi.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra creamy texture, chill the yoghurt and milk beforehand and use frozen banana slices instead of fresh. This also helps thicken the lassi without adding ice, which can dilute the flavor.
- If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend all fruits except the pomegranate seeds, then stir in the seeds at the end for a pleasant crunchy contrast.
- For a vegan version, substitute dairy yoghurt and milk with coconut or almond yoghurt and any plant-based milk. Coconut yoghurt adds a subtle tropical note that pairs especially well with the fruits.
- Serve the lassi in tall glasses garnished with a sprinkle of cardamom powder and a few extra pomegranate seeds or crushed pistachios for an inviting, festive presentation.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the sweetness of your lassi by adding honey or maple syrup to taste. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
- Experiment with different fruit combinations! Mango, pineapple, and berries all make delicious additions to a lassi.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat yoghurt and milk.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover lassi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Give it a good stir before serving as some separation may occur.
