Tzatziki Lassi/shake

[Smoggy 152]

I am finding all the sweet shakes a bit much on full liquids so I made a tzatziki inspired lassi shake which is pretty good and has 30g Protein. This is going down MUCH easier...

1 small tub of Fage 0% yogurt (10g protein)

1 scoop GNC whey unflavoured Protein powder (20g protein)

A teaspoon of Lea and Perrins cook's helper add-in garlic paste

Mint leaves

Quarter of a cucumber- deskinned.

Thin slightly with Water.< /p>

A squeeze of lime.

Salt to taste.

Puree in blender.

Smoggy, I've lived in several foreign countries and know what a lassi is, I also know that cooks helper is not something common in the US. I have a feeling you are going to have to explain your concoction a bit more.

FYI it sounds wonderful to me though.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Folks, a lassi is a pureed yoghurt-based drink comon in India, it can be sweetened with fruit or salted and spiced and herbs added.It is often used as a palate refresher with spicy curries.

Tzatziki is a Greek salad made with chopped or grated cucumber, mint, Greek yoghurt and sometimes lemon. You could use lemon here too but I love lime.

Cooks helper garlic is a product that is basically liquefied garlic (with a bit of sunflower oil) and a smooth garlic paste is a good replacement.

Anyway I kind of mixed the Greek and Indian components together to get a savoury garlicky minty cucumbery drink. It is pretty darn YUM.
