Mango lassi is a very popular drink in Indian restaurants, and I love it because it is a “specialty” and hard to find at other places. Similar to a smoothie, a lassi is a drink made with yogurt as a base, water and sometimes fruit. I love mango lassi so much that I decided to try other fruit flavors, like grape. Once I tried this grape lassi it was hard for me to decide which flavor I liked better.
This grape lassi is made from fresh red grapes frozen about 30 minutes before using, banana, grape juice not from concentrate (this is hard to find, I get mine at Trader Joes), yogurt and water. You don’t have to freeze the grapes, but I like my drinks cold and find that the frozen grapes give this grape lassi a refreshing touch!
Next time you make homemade Indian food, don’t forget about this grape lassi recipe! I also have one for the mango lassi. This grape lassi isn’t limited to your Indian themed meal, of course. You can enjoy this grape lassi as a filling breakfast drink, too!
- ¼ cup fresh red grapes, frozen
- 1 banana, frozen
- ½ cup grape juice (not from concentrate)
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- ¼ cup water
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Yum, such a fun and simple recipe that’s easy to veganize too, thanks!
Thanks for the new drink recipie!
Haven’t heard from you in a while… !
What a unique lassi! I love fresh grape juice.If you have a juicer you can make grape juice in a flash and it is so good.
I DO have a juicer, which I forgot about 😉 That sounds great!
Grapes are just coming into season here in Oz. And mango season is on its way out. I’ll start with a mango lassie before it’s too late then try the grape. I’ve had mango before but not grape. I like how you firstly freeze the grapes – very refreshing xx
You have to try it 🙂
Oooh, how refreshing! This looks really good!
Thanks Aria! 😀
Dearest Kristianne,
That looks like a real delicious version of a Lassi.
LOVE the Mango Lassi very much.
Sending you and your little one hugs,
Mariette
Thank you Mariette!
I love the grape alternative! This would make a lovely breakfast, too!
I agree 😀
What a fun idea! The Clement St Farmers Market always has a lassi stand…so delicious.
