Rich & Creamy Blueberry Lassi
This rich and creamy Blueberry Lassi is best enjoyed poolside while listening to Billie Holiday singing the stormy blues.
At least a couple of times a week, a bowl of berries {blueberries…strawberries…raspberries…blackberries…and boysenberries}, graces our dinner table come spring and summer, when these healthy and delicious fruits, are in all their seasonal glory.
You’d better be quick, though, if you want some, because when berries are on our dinner table they go fast.

I mean REALLY fast.
It’s a four way battle between myself, SiSi, Big Tex, and my husband to see who gets to eat the most berries at dinner time.
SiSi may disagree, but I’m pretty sure her little bro is in the lead right now 🙂
And, I can think of no better way to serve them, than in this blue ceramic berry basket from Anthropologie.
Truth be told, I’ve been eyeing these baskets for some time, now, but, being the sensible person that I {sometimes} am, I had successfully resisted buying one for myself, until a couple of days ago, when my resistance was weakened {something in the wind perhaps???}, and I bought not only one, but two of these lovelies-one for me, and one for you!
Oh, and while I was at it, I bought two of these gorgeous glasses as well to serve my blueberry lassi in.
New glasses, or not, I think you will really enjoy this healthy and delicious blueberry lassi, delicately flavored with just a hint of spicy cardamom.
Packed with probiotics and antioxidants…
Not only is this blueberry lassi rich, creamy, and delicious, it’s packed with nourishing ingredients. Like blueberries, to boost your brain health. And Greek yogurt to support a healthy gut microbiome.
In addition, cashews provide heart healthy monounsaturated fats, and the banana adds a nice touch of sweetness. I like it without any added sweetener, but feel free to add a little maple syrup or liquid stevia for extra sweetness. The choice is yours!
