 Lassi and Date Milk Shake
Balancing Lassi Drinks
Why Lassi?
Lassi (pronounced "LAH-see") is simply fresh yogurt blended with room temperature water. Whereas yogurt by itself can clog the channels of the digestive and elimination systems, once it is transformed into lassi it actually aids digestion. Thinning yogurt with water and blending it changes the molecular structure so it is more easily assimilated. Drink it before or with lunch.
