Verry Berry Lassi and Armchair Ayurveda
Life sometimes forces introspection and reflection on you, the kind that is best done without too many glasses of wine.
In fact, lately my favorite drink has been a mixed berry lassi, everything about it feels right, loads of fruit – blueberries and raspberries, natural yogurt and a stunning color to boot. It is what we are calling a “very berry” lassi. A little cliched but why not?
My Very Berry Lassi Story
I have generally, been a little obsessed with this and other traditionally healing foods, and have been giving Ayurveda a second look! Who knew? The really sad post is still in construction, so it will be a little backwards before readers can realize why I want some healing, comfort and tranquility, but then again isn’t tranquility always desirable? Just looking at this beautiful very berry lassi makes me feel peaceful.
When getting to an all time low, I reached out for seasonal berries and whizzed them with a little fresh ginger and black salt to make a thick rich and satisfying berry smoothie that we like to call lassi. I felt calmer and nourished, apparently due to the healing qualities of the natural yogurt and the generous vitamin boost. The colors helped and this just might be my new summer love.
It has taken a little time to get this post out, but I am glad that I have finally made that leap. In normalcy, I find solace and the world feels right again. Sometimes, the only way to get back on track is to get back on track. To really get back on track, I confess I might need a little more that creamy, colorful very berry lassi but this certainly is a start.
Other lassi recipes on this site include my perfect homemade mango lassi and strawberry lassi to name two.
A colorful healing seasonal lassi or yogurt smooth, that is guaranteed to cheer and soothe the mind.
