Mango Lassi: A digression from photography, but a delicious one.

A favorite from India, lassis are a perfect summer treat.

About 6-8 servings

Time: 6-10 minutes

Ingredients:

1 large can (30 oz) mango pulp, sweetened

1 medium tub (24 oz) plain greek yogurt, unsweetened

2+ cups ice

1/2 to 1 cup milk (you can use regular or evaporated milk)

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp ground cardamom

---or---

1 large can (30 oz) mango pulp, not sweetened

1 medium tub (24 oz) plain greek yogurt, unsweetened

2+ cups ice

1/2 to 1 cup milk (you can use regular or evaporated milk)

1/4 cup super fine sugar (to taste)

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp ground cardamom

Blend everything in your blender. This will pretty much fill up your blender to the brim, so be aware, it makes about 70 oz.

Serve with slivered almonds or crushed pistachios on top.

Here is a great website:

If you want to make a batch and eat it through out the week for a great breakfast, leave out the ice, put in a pitcher to save in the fridge and blend in the ice in single servings.

This costs about 6-7 dollars to make 6-8 servings at home while buying one serving at the restaurant costs about 3-4 dollars. If you use the cardamom and the salt it will taste just the same as it does at the restaurant!!

Cardamom is really strong. Although one bottle is a bit pricey for a spice, you'll never use very much so that one bottle will go a long way. Try adding some to your spiced breads, cakes and cookies, ice cream, other smoothies and sugar cookies.

Welcome to my new blog! I'll be using this blog in association with my photography endeavors and things related to them.

I am starting an infant photography business. It has been and exciting and rewarding experience to join together two things I love, the sweetness of little ones and the magic of photography!

I'll be posting a tutorial this week on how to make your own 40'' circumference and 12'' high photo prop bean bag that is a staple of the infant photography business.

Thank you for visiting my blog and please come back soon!
