How to make a Fizzy Lassi
I've been experimenting in my search for delicious low fat recipes.
Last night I felt like having a sweet snack that would keep me "filled"... But I did not want anything over 4 points worth (in Weight Watchers' parlance, that is).
Well, I decided to see if I could come up with a lassi recipe that was fizzy... without the fat or extra calories.
A "lassi" is simply a yoghurt based drink. It's very popular in India, and I have had different variations of this drink when I've been to vegetarian Indian restaurants.
A lassi is simple to prepare. Basically you just get some natural yoghurt and mix it with water, and that's it. But this is an acquired taste, as it lacks sugar and it tastes a bit tangy.
I have experimented in the past with flavoured diet yoghurt and water, and the resulting lassi is very tasty indeed: sweet, but without sugar or too much fat.
Depending on the diet yoghurt you choose, your drink will be something between 1 to 4 points. I choose Nestle Diet Yoghurt because is the lowest in fat and kilo joules I have found so far.
Other yoghurts are labelled as being "lite" and, whilst their fat content is lower than normal yoghurt, they're worth at least twice as much as the Nestle Diet Yoghurt. The extra fat and kj, I suppose, account for the extra creamy texture found in lite yoghurt.
Ok, now to the point.
Yesterday I combined 200 ml of apricot and mango Nestle Diet Yoghurt with half a glass of diet apricot soda (which is worth "0" points). The result was a "Fizzy Lassi", which was sparkling, refreshing, filling, sweet, and low in fat.
I'll include this recipe in my website soon. But you don't need to go there if you're reading this, as the recipe is already here.
However, you may want to check the website out because I'm in the process of adding a number of delicious low fat dessert recipes including low fat chocolate recipes, low fat cheesecake recipes, and Weight Watchers dessert recipes.
They're delicious... so much so... you won't believe they're good for you.
That's it for now.
Have a great day!
