Today, we have an exciting and refreshing recipe for you: a Postbiotic Mango Lassi.
Lassi is a traditional yogurt-based drink that originates from India. It is a popular beverage, especially in the northern regions of the country, and is enjoyed for its refreshing and cooling properties. There are two main types of lassi: sweet and salty.
Sweet Lassi
This version is typically made by blending yogurt with water or milk, sugar, and sometimes fruits like mango, strawberries, or bananas. It’s often flavored with cardamom, rose water, or saffron.
Salty Lassi
Salty Lassi is savory and is made by blending yogurt with water, salt, and sometimes spices such as roasted cumin powder, mint, and black salt. It can also be garnished with fresh herbs like coriander.
Today we are making sweet lassi. For this recipe, we will need just a few simple ingredients. Mango, plain yogurt, almond milk, and R’s KOSO.
Mango
Mangoes are not only sweet and delicious but also fantastic for your gut health. They contain prebiotic fibers that feed the good bacteria in your gut, promoting a healthy digestive system. Mangoes are also rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, which supports overall health and boosts your immune system.
Plain yogurt
Plain yogurt is another great ingredient for your gut because it contains probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics which help balance your gut microbiome.
Almond milk
Almond milk provides a creamy texture without the added dairy, making this lassi lighter and easier to digest. If you like a creamy and rich texture, try coconut milk instead of almond milk.
R’s KOSO
And of course, our star ingredient: R’s KOSO. R’s KOSO is made of more than 100 kinds of ingredients. It is fermented for over one year. This Japanese fermented drink is rich in postbiotics, which are bioactive compounds that support gut health by enhancing the growth of beneficial bacteria and reducing inflammation.
