Strawberry Lassi Indian Style Strawberry Smoothie

This strawberry smoothie is basically the same as Indian style smoothie or lassi drink popular in India, usually made using just yogurt or mangoes as the main ingredients.

Mango lassi and yogurt lassi are most popular in India and also they are well known Indian drinks popular outside India as well.

In this strawberry lassi or Indian style strawberry smoothie, we use strawberries instead of mangoes to make delicious lassi.

My kids love this strawberry lassi and they even ask me to make this!

Cardamom powder is traditionally used to flavor the strawberry lassi in India, which I love very much, but since I didn’t have cardamom powder I used vanilla extract and the vanilla flavored strawberry lassi turned out so delicious!

So if you do not have cardamom powder at home also, do try this lassi recipe using vanilla extract.

The yogurt based smoothies are known as lassi in India and its one of the most popular Indian drinks served at homes and restaurants.

To make this strawberry yogurt smoothie healthy, you may avoid sugar or use any natural sweetener like pure honey or pure maple syrup though they may slightly alter the taste of the lassi.

The most popular fruit based lassi is made of mangoes which is known as mango lassi.

I have also made similar lassi or smoothie using ripe peaches which is too delicious as well!

You can see my recipe for peach lassi here.

Indian style lassi or smoothie is very delicious and this cold, chilled drink is perfect for summer months as well as winter months.

This strawberry lassi made using fresh strawberries, yogurt, sugar and vanilla is so very delicious, colorful and pretty in light pink color!

As I mentioned, you can use cardamom powder for flavoring this drink, which is the traditional way of flavoring the lassi.

I made this strawberry smoothie with yogurt, but in Indian sometimes strawberry lassi is also made using buttermilk.

However make sure to use yogurt to make this strawberry lassi or strawberry smoothie for the best results.

I used chilled fresh strawberries to make this strawberry smoothie, but you may also use frozen strawberries to make this strawberry smoothie!

The best thing is that you only need very few minutes to prepare this strawberry lassi and you can adjust the flavors also based on your preference.

You may use strawberry essence or rose water instead of vanilla essence or just use cardamom powder to flavor this lassi.

Also you may slightly increase the amount of strawberries or yogurt and also adjust the sugar based on your preferences.

The strawberry lassi or strawberry yogurt smoothie is slightly tangy or sour as well as sweet in taste since the strawberries are sour and sweet and the yogurt is also sour.

As I said, you may adjust the amount of sugar to adjust the sweetness to your taste.

Now add the washed strawberries to the blender. You can add the whole strawberries as such or slice in halves or quarters.

Also add the remaining ingredients – yogurt, milk, sugar and vanilla extract (or cardamom powder) also to the blender.

If using rose water or rose extract or essence, you can also add about 1 teaspoon of that for a more authentic, exotic flavor!

Blend until very smooth!

Serve the strawberry lassi or smoothie immediately or keep refrigerated until serving.

As I mentioned earlier, make sure to use cold ingredients to prepare the lassi, and also you may also add 2 to 3 cubes of ice if you wish to make it even more cold!
