Notes

Chaas Vs Lassi

While chaas is a little thinner in consistency, the consistency of lassi is usually a bit thicker. The main difference is just adding a little extra milk or water to thin out the drink to make chaas. A creamy lassi is achieved by using whole milk yogurt or a Greek yogurt. So, you can adjust this recipe to make either!

Making it Vegan

Vegan: Substitute with vegan yogurt and milk to make it vegan. Oat milk is creamy and thick so I recommend using that with some water.

Variations

If uou’d like a hint of spice you can add a pinch of black pepper.

Fresh mint leaves are fun to add as a garnish or blended in to provide some fresh notes to the drink.
