This peach lassi is inspired from the popular mango lassi. Just like the mango version, this yogurt-based drink is cooling and soothing on the stomach – a great way to cool off spicy foods.

Notes
*If you can’t find vegan yogurt, substitute with 1/2 cup canned coconut milk + 1/2 cup water + 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or 1-2 probiotic capsules – open the capsules and use just the powder)**If using canned coconut milk, you may need to thin out the consistency with a little water. Lassi is usually just a little thinner than a smoothie but this can be adjusted to personal preference.Link to original recipe - Vegan Peach Lassi - https://veganlovlie.com/peach-lassi-vegan/
