Peach Lassi
April and May are peach season in these parts. We have a local farm a few miles away that has the most AMAZING peaches ripe for picking and I make it a priority to go every year. That leaves me with pounds of fresh peaches to use up (which isn’t a bad problem to have). Other than the obvious eating them straight I like to find new and delicious ways to incorporate these sweet and juicy peaches into my day.
I usually make crisp, ice cream, or use them in overnight oats but this time I made a Peach Lassi with probiotic yogurt (cuz you know I love my fermented foods!). I know that lassi is traditionally made with mango but when you have peaches coming out of your ears you do what you have to do to make it work. Feel free to use any fruit that is in season around your neck of the woods.
This recipe is also the perfect opportunity to add some of my turmeric dust to the mix and show you how else you can incorporate this magical sweet seasoning to your recipes. In the winter months when fruit isn’t very seasonal I plan on using my favorite frozen fruit to keep my turmeric game on point.
Ingredients
- 1 cup full fat plain yogurt or homemade coconut yogurt
- 2 large ripe peaches pitted
- 1 teaspoon turmeric dust
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
-
Add all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
-
Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
*choose organic ingredients when possible.
Lassi’s are the best! Even better, my kids love ’em too 🙂 This looks so refreshing and delicious~now I just need to buy my first batch of summer peaches! Oh, and yay for turmeric dust!!!
Creating recipes kids love is a win in my book!
That color of the smoothie is simply gorgeous! And I’m totally taken by the idea of turmeric dust – pinning that one too 🙂
I agree the color is amazing. The fresh peaches were picked by me at a local farm and the color just screams summer.
This sounds so delicious! And I agree, the tumeric dust sounds just lovely. Pinned 🙂
The turmeric dust is a must…I have been using it in so many different recipes.
I love peaches ! your peach lassi looks very refreshing i am going to try it soon 🙂
I hope you love it!
