Recipe
Orange and carrot lassi
A creamy yogurt drink with whole orange flesh, finely grated carrot and a little ginger.
Ingredients
2 servings
Method
-
1
Prepare the fruit
Peel orange, remove coarse white pith and seeds and weigh the flesh. Cut into pieces and keep all the juice that runs out.
-
2
Grate the carrot finely
Wash, peel and finely grate carrot. Peel ginger and chop very finely. This keeps the blender from having to break down large hard pieces.
-
3
Blend
Put yogurt, all orange flesh and juice, carrot, ginger, water and sugar into a suitable blender. Blend as smoothly as possible for about 60 to 90 seconds. If needed, stop briefly, scrape the sides with a spatula and blend again.

4
Serve immediately
Divide between two large glasses without straining and drink immediately. Fruit pulp and fine carrot fibres remain in the drink. This makes two drink servings as a between-meal snack, without ice cubes or extra garnish.
