Beetroot Lassi Recipe to make at home to beat the summer heat @ Supaintsonplates.com

Summers are incomplete without a chilled Beetroot Lassi. These recipes by Supaintsonplates will help you cool down during those hot afternoons. In most parts of India, sipping on a chilled lassi during a hot afternoon is a summertime ritual many remember from their childhood. Made with a base of yoghurt, with sugar, fruits and flavours (the sweet variety) and salt and spices (savoury) added on—it is a refreshing drink and one that's great to recharge energy levels during draining summer days. Plus, if made with homemade yoghurt, it's full of gut-friendly bacteria.

 

If you’ve not made this Beetroot Lassi yet, I urge you to try it soonest! One of my Instagram friends tried my beetroot Lassi few months back and called it Gulabi Lassi and the name stuck.

 

This recipe is quick and simple, however the drink will take center stage at your dining table and wow your family and friends not only because of its vibrant pink hue, but also because it tastes absolutely delicious. Lassi/ Buttermilk is high in probiotics and calcium. The health benefits surpass even those of yogurt. Do add this to your lunch each day for optimum gut health.
