Lassi is an Indian yogurt drink. A savory lassi may be flavored with spices such as cumin and may even contain salt. This sweet lassi is made with antioxident-rich pink grapefruit juice. Creamy Greek-style yogurt is high in protein, making this frosty treat a perfect on-the-go breakfast or a welcome refresher after a great workout.

8 ounces 100 percent pink grapefruit juice

1 cup nonfat Greek-style yogurt

1 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint, optional

1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

8 ice cubes

1 Tbsp. agave nectar, honey or sweetner

Fresh mint sprig for garnish.

Combine all ingredients in a blender jar. Blend until smooth. Add sweetener if desired. Garnish with mint sprig.

Factoid: A recent study at the University of Florida revealed that pink grapefruit had more nutrients per calorie than the commonly consumed 100 percent fruit juices. This means that comparatively, grapefruit juice was lower in calories and higher in essential nutrients such as vitamin C, potassium and folate. Orange juice ranked second and white grapefruit juice third.
