Recipe: Mango Lassi

I love to drink mango lassis when I go out for Indian food. They have a wonderful cooling affect after what is usually a spicy meal. Plus, its one of the only Indian sweets I like, most of which are usually too sweet or strange for my palate. But what is hard about making a lassi? It's basically the original smoothie and simple to make at home.

We have been eating a lot of vegetable curries at home lately. I made a lentil curry with sweet potatoes and cauliflower a couple of evenings ago and what could be a better accompaniment than a mango lassi?

A sweet treat that's pretty good for you: honey for you sinuses; yogurt for your tummy; and fruit full of vitamins. Enjoy!

Recipe: Mango Lassi
3 cups diced mango, fresh or frozen (1 12 oz bag)
3 cups plain low-fat yogurt
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup water
6 tbsp honey

Combine all of the ingredients in a blender. You may have to do this is two portions depending on what will fit into carafe. Process until smooth and creamy.
