How to prepare

Place the fruit of your choice, liquid of your choice, additional ingredients, and any optional ingredients in the blender  container. (Make sure that your blander can take ice cubes without damaging it.) Blend until the ice is well ground up glasses and serve immediately.

To make a fruit nectar to use in lassi, soak 1/2 cup dried apricots, peaches or papayas in 2 cups pineapple juice until soft. Whiz in a blender until smooth. Use this in place of canned apricot nectar or frozen juice concentrate when fresh fruit is not available.

You can also use low-fat tofu in this recipe and still get delicious results.
