🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prep the Apples and Walnuts: Start by washing and coring the apple. Chop it into small pieces. Roughly chop the walnuts if they aren't already. I prefer honeycrisp apples for their sweetness, but really any kind works!
- Combine Ingredients in Blender: Throw the chopped apple, walnuts, yogurt, milk, sugar (or your sweetener of choice), and ice cubes into the blender. If you’re feeling fancy, a little vanilla extract adds a nice touch! Don't worry if you forget an ingredient; happens to the best of us!
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend everything until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender. If the lassi is too thick, add a splash more milk. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes or a spoonful of yogurt.
- Taste and Adjust: Give it a taste! Adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or honey if needed. Remember, you can always add more, but you can’t take it away.
- Pour and Garnish: Pour the lassi into your favorite glass. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts and a slice of apple. A light dusting of cinnamon also looks great!
- Serve Immediately: Serve your Walnut Apple Winter Warmer Lassi immediately and enjoy! This drink is best when it's fresh and cold.
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use Greek yogurt.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
- Adjust sweetness to your liking with honey or maple syrup.
