Raw Food Cardamom Lassi

Jennifer Murray

Making this Raw Food Lassi recipe involves a 24 hour fermentation process for the raw "yogurt". By then you'll be a probiotic specialist! As with Indian lassis, these beverages are perfect to drink along with cooked foods for the way they help your intestines to digest your food better. Cardamom is an enticingly marvelous Indian spice but this recipe can be modified in countless ways depending on your taste. Try adding a bit of flavor with vanilla, rosewater, mango, banana or even passion fruit.
