Watermelon-Strawberry Lassi

 

I always love watermelon during the summer, and usually unveil a new recipe each year. I recently got a particularly large melon, and got to work trying to come up with a new way to use it all.

Do you know the saying “inspiration is born from necessity”? Well, my husband reminded me of our trip to India, where my son drank Watermelon Lassi every day. Ta-da! I got right to work.

Traditional Lassi contains yogurt, and since we’re a dairy free household, I re-created this sweet and refreshing treat using coconut milk.

I think almond milk would work just as well.

Below is for 1 serving. But I have a LOT of watermelon left, so now that my recipe testing has resulted in success, I’ll be doubling (and doubling and doubling) the ingredients to fill a pitcher’s worth.

Preparation
Blend on low in high-speed blender, or use a hand blender until creamy smooth.
