Mango Ginger Lassi, a super healing drink for the digestive system!

A lassi is a traditional drink in India.  It is yogurt based and often has turmeric, rosewater or saffron added to the mix.  I added a small knob of fresh ginger root, which gave this lassi a little spice!  The combination of mango, fermented “yogurt” and ginger is a great way to boost the health of your digestive system.  Mangos are a great prebiotic, which will feed the probiotics found in the yogurt and the ginger is a great healer of digestive distress.

Use any type of plain yogurt you prefer, I used plain soy yogurt for a vegan version.
