Papaya Lassi
A perfect, aromatic, low-fat snack when you need something in-between meals!
Ingredients
- 1 medium papaya
- 1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 8 - 8 1/2 fl. oz. iced water (up to 250 ml)
- 1 dash of rosewater
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 tsp honey (if needed)
Directions:
Peel and de-seed papaya. Cut into chunks.
Place papaya, yogurt, water, rosewater, and mint in a blender or food processor. Blend until well combined and frothy.
Taste to determine if honey is required for extra sweetening. Add if needed and re-blend. Pour into glasses and serve.
Variations:
Papaw (or pawpaw) can replace papaya (papaw has numerous other common names, often very local, such as prairie banana, Indiana/Hoosier banana, Kentucky banana, Michigan banana, and Ozark banana - not to be confused with the traditional banana).
