Summer is officially here, and if you’ve been looking for the perfect (and delicious) way to cool down— look no further! This creamy, smooth, and sweet drink is one that will have you saying “ahhhhh” after every sip.

Lassi is an Indian, yogurt based smoothie, and can be made either sweet or savory. Usually the savory lassis are made with cumin, salt, and chaat masala. In India, this drink is usually enjoyed in the afternoon, right before that perfect nap.

These two hormones promote sleep, which will having you wake up feeling refreshed! Please try this out and enjoy.
