Author Notes
I'm not big on smoothies, but I love me a lassi! Go figure, since they're practically the same thing. I never said I was rational.

Here are two of my favorite combinations for when summer fruit is at its peak. —fiveandspice

2
small, or one very large, peaches, pitted and cut into chunks (no need for peeling)

pistachios
-
1 1/2 cups
Greek-style yogurt, preferably full-fat
-
2 pinches
ground cardamom
-
1 pinch
ground cinnamon
-
1 tablespoon
honey (optional - if your peaches are nice and ripe you probably won't need it)
-
1/4 to 1/2 cups
cold milk
- Cantaloupe lime lassi
-
1 1/2 cups
cubed cantaloupe

1 1/2 cups
Greek-style yogurt, preferably full-fat

1 pinch
cayenne pepper
-
2 tablespoons
fresh lime juice
Directions
- Peach pistachio lassi

Combine all the ingredients in a blender - use 1/4 cup milk for a thicker consistency and 1/2 cup for a thinner consistency, or really whatever quantity you need for the consistency you prefer - and blend until pretty smooth (some small pistachio grains will remain).
-
Divide between two big glasses - pour over ice if you wish - and serve.
- Cantaloupe lime lassi
-
Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. (You shouldn't need extra liquid because the melon creates a lot itself.)
