mango lassi

Summer is almost here! Could you use a refreshing drink? I know that I could. This delicious and easy to make mango lassi comes from the excellent raw food chef, Diana Stobo.  She is a classically trained chef studying culinary arts at Cornell University.  She eventually became interested in nutrition and healing and turned to raw foods.

“No Sugar,  No Wheat, No Dairy, No Alcohol, No Meat” is her motto which is covered in more detail in the new award winning book, Get Naked Fast.  The book focuses on raw nutrition and raw beauty.  What I really like about Diana Stobo is that she makes raw food accessible and quick with common tools, techniques and ingredients.  Visit her site here.  This healthy, speedy recipe is a thirst-quencher on a hot day and requires the following ingredients:

* Larry and Luna Coconut Bliss ( a real favorite of mine although, another coconut ice cream will work as well)
* Diced mango
* Rejuvelac (substitute for yogurt)
* Almond Milk (unpasteurized)
* Cardamom
* Agave or other sweetener as desired
