Recipe: Mango Molasses Lassi

by Sinit Aatifa

This sweet mango lassi tastes amazing! Lassi, a popular traditional yogurt based drink from India, is sweetened with blended fruit and sugar, or made salty by adding either Indian spices and salt.

On the Indian subcontinent, lassi is used to improve digestion. First trimester moms, try our recipe to curb your nausea. As a plus, it's high in iron and folates which help beat fatigue and prevent anemia! Who couldn't use that boost?
