Turmeric Peach Mango Lassi

Turmeric Peach Mango Lassi

Lassi is considered an "ancient smoothie" as one of the first, if not the first, yogurt smoothie in the world. Originating in India, around 1000 BC, it's traditionally made with yogurt, water and spices or fruit. While the classic recipe is refreshing and delicious, some of the more popular flavor combinations include mango, strawberry and even spicy mint! 

Cardamom, a popular spice found in lassi, boasts antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties and can even be used to freshen breath. Our Restore Turmeric Superblend features cardamom, along with ginger and turmeric, making it the perfect addition to this classic drink. 

This smoothie is a JOYÀ-fied spin on the traditional Mango Lassi drink. We combined our Restore Turmeric Superblend with bursting mango and peach sweetness and the creaminess and tanginess of yogurt. 

Hot (weather) TipThis smoothie blend can be made into delicious popsicles to combat the summer heat!
