Banana Lassi Recipe ( for 1 serving / 1 glass)

- Yoghurt - about 4 big tablespoons, it can be more so it's up to you

- Honey (optional) - I happened to have a jar of Manuka Honey laying around so I drop about 1 teaspoon of it into the blender

- Some ice cubes (optional)

Instructions :

Simply throw the diced up banana, yoghurt, honey and ice cubes into the blender, blend well and it's good to drink!

Some recipes do add in some milk, cardamom powder and even vanilla pod into their lassi minus the ice and honey. Hence it goes to show that you can have it however that you like to have in your lassi. Either way as long as you have the yoghurt and fruit combination, that should be a lassi drink alright.

In addition, this banana lassi or any lassi is best served cold and it can be a great drink to have during a hot summer day. There you go a perfectly easy Banana Lassi recipe that you can make at home on your own. I still wonder though, why in the world they always charge so much for a big glass of lassi in the restaurant. Haha.
