This recipe combines the goodness of yam with the creamy texture of yogurt for a perfect, simple, and satisfying breakfast option.
Ingredients
- 180g Fresh Yam
- 100g Greek Yogurt
- 200ml Milk
- 1 Tbsp Honey (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather and prepare all the necessary ingredients for your Ma Juice or Ma Lassi. Ensure you have fresh yam, Greek yogurt, milk, and honey ready.
Step 2
Let’s prepare the yam. Using a vegetable peeler makes removing the skin incredibly easy. Simply peel off the skin lightly, focusing on any rough or blemished spots. The skin is quite thin, so you can peel it without much effort.
Step 3
Rinse the peeled yam under cool running water to remove any surface dirt. Then, roughly chop the yam into large pieces; you don’t need to cut it into small chunks as it will be blended. This size is perfect for the blender.
Step 4
Now it’s time to blend everything together. Add the chopped yam, creamy Greek yogurt, fresh milk, and honey for sweetness into your blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and no fibrous bits of yam remain. Continue blending until you achieve a silky-smooth consistency. This step ensures your Ma Juice is perfectly creamy and delicious. Your Ma Juice is now ready!
Step 5
Pour the finished Ma Juice into a glass. Adding Greek yogurt gives it a wonderfully creamy texture, similar to a traditional lassi.
Step 6
This Ma Lassi is an excellent and convenient breakfast alternative for busy mornings. Enjoy this nutritious and filling yam-based drink to start your day on a healthy note. It’s not only easy to digest but also provides a sense of fullness, making it an ideal breakfast beverage.
