I remember the first time I experimented with this recipe. It was the holiday season, and I had a surplus of fresh cranberries. I wanted to create something a little different, something that wasn't the usual cranberry sauce or pie. The idea of combining it with orange came to me in a flash, and I knew it would be a winning combination. The result? A lassi that not only tasted amazing but also looked incredibly festive. I think I added a little to much orange zest though. What do you think, should I have added more cranberries and less orange?
What's great about this lassi is its versatility. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking, use different types of yogurt (Greek, regular, or even a plant-based option), and add a touch of honey or maple syrup for extra flavor. Plus, it's incredibly easy to make, requiring just a few simple ingredients and a blender. If you are looking for a healthy pick-me-up, this lassi will not disappoint. I promise you.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: You'll need fresh or frozen cranberries, an orange (for juice and zest), yogurt (plain or Greek), a sweetener of your choice (honey, maple syrup, or sugar), and a splash of milk or water to adjust the consistency.
- Prepare the cranberries: If using fresh cranberries, rinse them thoroughly. If using frozen, no need to thaw them.
- Zest and juice the orange: Using a zester, carefully remove the zest from the orange, avoiding the white pith underneath (it can be bitter). Then, juice the orange. You should get about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of juice, depending on the size of the orange.
- Combine ingredients in a blender: Add the cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, yogurt, and sweetener to a blender. I think 1 tbs of honey is the best if you are looking for a healthy and balanced treat.
- Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth. This may take a minute or two, depending on your blender. If the lassi is too thick, add a splash of milk or water and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust: Give the lassi a taste and adjust the sweetness or tanginess as needed. Add more sweetener if you prefer it sweeter, or a squeeze of lemon juice if you want a bit more zing.
- Chill and serve: Pour the lassi into glasses. For an extra touch, garnish with a few fresh cranberries, an orange slice, or a sprinkle of orange zest. If you want, you can chill the lassi in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before serving to make it extra refreshing. Although, I like to drink it right away!
- Enjoy!: Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors of this Cranberry Orange Lassi!
📝 Notes
- For a thicker lassi, use Greek yogurt.
