Instructions:
-
Blend the Ingredients: Start by placing the ripe bananas, honey, and ground nutmeg into a food processor or blender. Add water or milk to help achieve your preferred drinkable consistency. Blend the mixture on high speed until everything is smooth and well-combined. This should only take a minute or two.
-
Sweeten to Taste: Once the lassi is blended, taste it and decide if you’d like to add more honey for extra sweetness. If desired, add a little more honey and blend again to incorporate.
-
Serve Immediately: Pour the freshly made Banana Lassi into glasses and serve right away. Enjoy it chilled for a refreshing treat on a warm day!
Tips:
- Banana ripeness: The riper the banana, the sweeter your lassi will be. If your bananas aren’t very ripe, consider adding a little extra honey for sweetness.
- Milk alternatives: For a dairy-free version, feel free to substitute water or plant-based milk (like almond, oat, or coconut milk) in place of regular milk.
- Flavor variations: If you want to mix things up, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom to the blend for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions:
Banana Lassi pairs wonderfully with light snacks or a fruit salad for a quick breakfast or brunch option. You can also serve it alongside grilled chicken or falafel for a satisfying meal.
