Wild Berry Cardamom Kefir Lassi
Tangy, probiotic-rich kefir is blended with wild berries, honey, and a hint of cardamom for a creamy, sweet-tart lassi with a subtle floral finish. A flavorful, gut-friendly sipper for mornings at camp or a chilled afternoon pick-me-up.
Equipment
- blender or lidded jar
- measuring cup
- knife (if using large berries)
- cooler
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain kefir chilled
- 3/4 cup mixed wild berries fresh or frozen, plus extra for garnish
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine kefir, wild berries, honey, cardamom, water, and ice in a blender or lidded jar.
- Blend (or shake vigorously, mashing berries first) until smooth and frothy; add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Pour into chilled camp cups and garnish with a few extra whole berries and a dusting of cardamom, if desired.
- Serve immediately for best flavor and probiotic benefits.
Notes
Keep ingredients chilled in your cooler for creamy, refreshing results. If no blender, mash berries well and shake ingredients in a jar for a rustic lassi with extra berry texture. Makes a nourishing post-hike refresher or portable breakfast drink.
