How to make the most delicious Strawberry Rosé Lassi

Every now and then, I’ll make a drink that’ll have me go, “Eureka!” And you know it’s going to be included in your future recipe repertoire. Today that drink is Strawberry Rosé Lassi. And boy is it good.

This was absolutely delicious, plus it’s naturally sweetened and healthy!

To flavor this lassi, I used Medjool dates, which is nature’s natural sweetener. They add a delicious kick of sweet honey-like flavor. (Admittedly though, they’re not low in calories, so don’t go overboard on adding them!) You can find Medjool dates in health stores or organic groceries. But if you don’t have them, there’s nothing wrong with using a tablespoon of cane sugar, simple syrup, agave, or honey instead.

I got the idea of using Medjool dates and Greek Yogurt as opposed to the more traditional full-fat regular yogurt from Love Real Food, which includes a scrumptious breakfast Mango Lassi recipe.

Additionally, Sasha Gill from East Meets Vegan introduced me to rose water, which is really like nothing else. A dash of rose water goes a long way! To get rose water, you can find it at your local Indian grocery store. I use the Sadaf brand. However, if there aren’t any near you, you can also order it online here. But it will probably be cheaper in stores.

I used a little almond milk to make the Strawberry Rosé Lassi more liquid and easier to blend but you can also sub with regular milk or your favorite plant-based milk. Lastly, you can of course use fresh strawberries as well. The frozen ones make your drink cold nicely without ice, but if you use fresh, throw in a few ice cubes as well. Enjoy!

Absolutely delicious!

The fun thing about lassi is that there’s so much room for creativity aside from the simple base of yogurt + fruit or spices. Try adding cardamom on top, or sprinkling it with saffron. The sky’s the limit.
