This sugar-free strawberry yogurt lassi is a high-protein, refreshing drink that can be made in minutes with just as few simple ingredients.

Lassis are the best! And this creamy, sugar-free strawberry lassi is just as refreshing and delicious as the real thing! Although this is technically a one-serving recipe, you'll probably want another glass (we always make two servings just in case) since it's so refreshing.

Since yogurt is the main ingredient in a lassi, they're naturally high in protein and calcium, and packed with probiotics. Although strawberries sweeten the lassi, we add a little sugar-free sweetener to sweeten it up, while keeping it lower in carbs.

It makes an easy breakfast, snack, or post-workout drink and comes together in 5 minutes or less. Simply add everything to a blender, Magic Bullet, or even a food processor, blend until smooth and creamy, then sweeten as you'd like!

What is a lassi?

A lassi is a popular drink in India that typically includes yogurt (also called curd), water or ice, spices, and sometimes fruit. Traditional lassis usually don’t include milk, and there are many different varieties ranging from sweet to savory. Mango is one of the most popular sweet lassis, which is not surprising since it’s so yummy! Strawberry lassis are less common in India since strawberries aren’t as widely available.

Although lassis can be enjoyed year-round, they’re especially popular in the summer since they’re so refreshing and cooling.

Ingredients

2% or 0% Plain Greek yogurt: We use plain, unsweetened 0% or 2% Greek yogurt for the highest protein and lowest carbs. We like using FAGE Greek yogurt because it’s extra creamy.

Frozen strawberries: Frozen strawberries help make the lassi cold and creamy without needing ice. You can also use fresh strawberries if preferred, though the drink may be slightly thinner.

Allulose: Adds sweetness without the sugar. You can use your favorite sugar-free sweetener if you like. Just adjust the amount as needed since sweetness levels can vary between brand.

Ground cardamom: Cardamom adds a warm flavor that gives lassi its classic taste. If you don’t have cardamom, a tiny pinch of cinnamon works as an easy substitute, though the flavor will be a little different.

Kosher salt: Just a tiny pinch helps balance the sweetness and brings out the strawberry flavor.

Preparation Steps

Add the Greek yogurt, frozen strawberries, sweetener, cardamom, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Taste and adjust sweetener if needed, then serve immediately.

EASY!

Low Carb & High Protein Lassi Variations

Mixed Berry Lassi: Swap the amount strawberries for frozen raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, or a mixed berry blend for a fruity, slightly tangy twist.

Peach Lassi: Use frozen peaches (same amount) instead of strawberries for a sweet, creamy, summer-inspired version.

Mint Strawberry Lassi: Blend in a few fresh mint leaves for an extra refreshing strawberry mint flavor.

Protein Boosted Lassi: Add a ½ scoop (about two tablespoons) of vanilla protein powder to make the lassi even higher in protein and more filling.
