Peach and Buttermilk Lassi

June 5, 2015 by Joy the Baker 28 Comments

Peach and Buttermilk Lassi

[I]’d easily enjoy a daily diet of milkshakes and french fries.  Steady. I’d never flinch.  It would be a dream.  

In related news, I just spent the last six minutes browsing milk shake machines on Amazon.  

Milkshake diet aside, I’m currently content with my fresh peaches, yogurt, and blender.  It’s the reasonable alternative to milkshakes day and night. 

This lassi is packed with healthful yogurt, fresh summer peaches, tangy buttermilk, and peach pie spice.  The fact that it’s flecked with peach skin feels like a bonus.  It’s summery, healthy, chilled, and supremely refreshing.  

I hope it makes you happy.  Also, I’d totally want cheese on my fries.  

Peach and Buttermilk Lassi

Ripe peaches!  We’re getting’ while the gettin’ is good.  

For this lassi we combine fresh peaches, lightly sweetened peach yogurt, sweet peach preserves, and tangy thick buttermilk.  

My grandfather used to drink buttermilk by the glass.  I always found it perplexing, but considering he lived to be nearly 100, I’d say he was on to something.  

I prefer my buttermilk blended with peaches and jam.  

Peach and Buttermilk Lassi

As long as we’re blending peaches, we might as well add some spice!  A few good pinches of ground cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg make this lassi taste peach pie-ish.  We’re full of great ideas.  

Peach and Buttermilk Lassi

Blended until smooth and creamy, garnished with fragrant nutmeg and fresh peach slices. 

It’s where smoothie meets milkshake. Creamy, spiced, and brimming with summer-y peach flavors.  I also think fresh strawberries would make for a happy lassi.  Pineapple, too?  I mean… go for it!

    Fresh peaches are in season and I have a few sitting here waiting for a purpose. I also have buttermilk and have used it in Deb Perelman’s strawberry milk, so your recipe seemed like a fantastic idea. And it was! I didn’t have peach preserves, but did have sweet orange preserves languishing, and they worked well. I added 2 ice cubes to keep it cool and enjoyed it on a Sunday afternoon. I would definitely make this again.

    I loved the sound of this! I was just thinking about what to do with my leftover buttermilk! I went into the kitchen to find that my peaches weren’t ripe yet and the peach jam was gone, so I remixed the recipe a bit and it was amazing! I subbed peaches for blueberries, peach yogurt for Greek yogurt, peach jake for raspberry jam and I left out the spices. Moral of the story is that this is an amazing, adaptable recipe! I can’t wait to try it when the peaches are ripe :-).

    Yum!! This was delicious!! I even forgot the preserves (oops) and only had vanilla yogurt on hand and it was still really great. I also threw in a few ice cubes because we’re trying to beat the heat here. Thanks for a wonderful and unique recipe!

    I used to think buttermilk was gross, but I actually started liking it from all the baking. Whenever I’d take one too many licks of frosting or cookie dough, the buttermilk kept me from falling into a sugar coma. From a taste perspective, anyway.

    According to my dad, my grandpa used to drink buttermilk straight up with salt and pepper. Oh, I cringe at the thought! Recipe looks good, I love how much peach is in it- fresh peaches, peach jam, and peach yoghurt!

    Going to the market today to scout some delicious Georgia peaches for this lassi. I can’t wait to come home and try this! Also, bless you for your usage of the word “healthful.” It makes this editor very happy :)
