Despite his objections to eating blitzed vegetables, the boyfriend has no objection to eating blitzed fruits. Enter mango lassi.
I am lactose intolerant, so I use the lactose-free version of all the dairy products. I do not think it makes much of a difference, flavour-wise: you still end up with a wonderfully frothy and delicious drink.
