Low-Carb Lassi and Variations — Day I — Basic Lassi
As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the drinks get colder and colder. To celebrate the early summer and my recovery, I decided to have a lassi week, which means that during the next seven days, I’ll publish daily an exciting low-carb lassi recipe!
As you know, lassi is a popular Indian drink. It has numerous tasty and nourishing variations. These low-carb lassi versions are mild and easy to sip rather than those thick, dessert-type drinks.

I came up with this simplest granola a couple of weeks ago.
