Made with just 5 ingredients this refreshing and healthy gluten-free drink is a fruity version of a traditional Indian lassi drink. Traditionally a lassi is made with plain yogurt, sugar, cardamon, orange blossom water and garnished with dried fruits. The lassi I became familiar with and really love is the mango lassi.

When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease, a natural health practitioner told me to add a mango lassi to my daily diet. The combo of buttermilk and orange blossom water is very healing to the gut. I did start making and drinking a mango lassi daily and did start to slowly feel better.

This gluten-free lassi is made with a frozen dragon fruit blend, buttermilk, cardamon, maple syrup and rose water. It is so refreshing and delicious! Chilled drinks are perfect on warm days or anytime as a healthy breakfast smoothie. Rose water is a common ingredient in Middle Eastern and Indian recipes-especially desserts. It has a delicate floral aroma and taste but use sparingly. A little goes a long way. You can find it in the grocery store where you would find Indian or Middle Eastern foods.
