Lassi (Amul) (1 Serving)

Choose an unsweetened lassi made with plain yogurt, water, ice, and spices such as cumin or cardamom; avoid added sugar, syrups, honey, and fruit concentrates.

Reduce the serving size and sip it slowly, for example have a small glass rather than a large restaurant-style portion.

Have lassi alongside a balanced meal containing protein, fiber, and healthy fat, such as eggs with non-starchy vegetables or grilled chicken with salad, rather than drinking it on an empty stomach.

Use plain Greek yogurt or strained curd for a thicker, higher-protein lassi, then dilute with water instead of adding sweeteners.

If you want flavor, add cinnamon, cardamom, rose water, mint, or a small amount of berries rather than mango, banana, dates, or sugar.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after drinking it, if this is safe and appropriate for you.
