How Does This Ayurvedic Recipe Improve Wellness?
CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Lassis digest easier than yogurt. Blending breaks up the gel and spices combat mucous. Lemon helps reduce the astringency of churned yogurt which can be slightly constipative.
The amount of water in a lassi varies with strength of digestion. Those with weaker digestion can use non fat yogurt with a 1:3 ratio of yogurt to water. For stronger digestions 3:1 ratio of yogurt to water.
Lemons are okay to mix with yogurt because it is already soured. Mixing lemons with milk, other the hand, curdles in the stomach!
Question: Isn't dairy contrindicated during a meal?
Answer: There is some disagreement in the community about the use of lassis after a meal. It is our experience that lassis, because of the spices and churning of the yogurt, help stimulate agni.
