One of my favorite drinks is a fermented and healthy “deliciousness” that can be very easily made at home. This post will probably be a little off topic and a little late, after all, it’s already the end of summer, but in Salt Lake City the temperature still doesn’t drop below 30 C, and a couple of days ago it was as much as 37! So we can say that for us summer didn’t even think of ending.

The first time I tried Lassi was in an Indian restaurant and it immediately captivated me with its refreshing, sour-sweet taste, and its necessity when absorbing spicy and spicy Indian dishes. Later, having met my Janu, I learned that in India only ordinary Lassi is found, and not with mangoes, this is a purely American invention.

Kefir— in I already wrote why Kefir is superior to yogurt in its beneficial properties. I ferment Kefir at home from kefir grains.

Coconut milk as well as rich in medium-chain fatty acids, which are not stored in fat reserves, but are immediately used for energy. Lauric acid, which is contained in Coconut milk, strengthens the immune system and has antibacterial and antiviral properties. You can do it very easily and simply.

Cow's milk unpasteurized is a good source of fat-soluble vitamins: A, E, K, D and protein. My favorite is the one that comes from pastured cows. As always, I advise you to avoid drinking store-bought milk or if you have an intolerance to it. Then replace it with coconut milk.

Mango Rich in Vitamin C and lots of antioxidants. Research claims that mango contains polyphenols that can stop the development of cancer cells. In India, by the way, it is considered the king of fruits.

Stevia is a natural, almost calorie-free sweetener. My post is about her.
