Beetroot Rose Lassi

Lassi is a very popular drink during summer where this thick and creamy drink is just the perfect thing to sip on .  This inclusion of yogurt doesn’t just aid digestion, but also cools excessive heat or hunger . Lassi can be made sweet or salty as per preference .The salty lassi is usually flavored with cumin , salt and chaat masala , whereas the sweet lassi has yogurt, water and sugar in it. Lassi can be customizable as per your choice of flavors.

You all are must be wondering why I am posting a Lassi recipe way ahead of summer , but hold on there is a reason to this. This Lassi is not a regular one but made with Beetroot juice to bring out this beautiful light color to the lassi.

As a woman we all face this problem of Hormonal imbalance which can be caused by a number of factors, like medical history, family genetics, environmental toxins, stress levels, and diet. This sometimes leads to weight gain/loss, fatigue, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, insomnia, loss of appetite, even hair thinning and hair loss.To counter this many women turn to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) , but there are many ways to balance our hormones naturally with diet also .

As women approaches menopause, the liver become overworked due to clearing the excess hormones. Beetroot are a nutritional powerhouse, best known for supporting the liver and cleansing the toxins out of the liver , besides this they are rich in iron, b vitamins, potassium, magnesium, and folate. Drinking beet juice can have a positive influence on menopause symptoms like mood swings, insomnia, and dizziness .
