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.
