Both satisfying and soothing, Orange Lassi is the perfect recipe for a dreamy slide into sleep. It’s the tryptophan in Greek yogurt that can spur on the zzz’s. And if diabetes is a concern, a boost of protein coupled with cinnamon may help lower blood sugar, further providing a calm night. Blitz up this easy recipe and sip it while reading a bedtime story.
Jazz it up
To jazz up your serving glass, drizzle a little bit of honey on a shallow plate. On a separate shallow plate, scatter some cinnamon. Dip rim of glass in honey and then into cinnamon. Set aside while making lassi.
Looking for dairy free?
Substitute Greek yogurt with plain soft soy or coconut yogurt. What it lacks in tryptophan, it brings in protein.
