Method
- Read the sugar, caffeine, allergen, and avoid/modify notes before preparing.
- Measure ingredients before blending, steeping, or infusing so the drink stays consistent.
- Build flavor with aroma, temperature, texture, and dilution before adding sweetener.
- Taste cold drinks after chilling and warm drinks after straining because temperature changes perceived sweetness.
- Serve in a measured glass so calories, sugar, caffeine, and fluid intake stay clear.
Who should avoid or modify
- Milk allergy or lactose-intolerant users need a tolerated high-protein alternative.
- GERD users should test berry tolerance and keep the portion moderate.
- Chia may not suit all IBS users; start with a smaller amount.
Drink-making tips
- Use thick plain yogurt, not sweetened yogurt, to control added sugar.
- Let chia hydrate for five minutes before blending if you want a smoother drink.
- Cardamom makes the lassi taste sweeter without adding sugar.
