I love lassis! Never tried one with strawberry, though. Love the idea of adding a splash of coconut milk to this!

Hi Sandhya! I think this is my first comment in your blog.. Your photography skills are marvellous! and I won't say that again for every post as it goes without saying! ;-P So I would rather talk about the recipe itself!
I am not 100% sure of the difference between smoothie and lassi - as far as I can think it is the quantity and the type of the yogurt used. Also for Lassi, traditionally we whisk the yogurt and for smoothie we just add all to blender and blend. Flavoured lassi is made with fruit concentrate than the actual fruit itself. Now, there is now right and wrong way in cooking as long as it comes delicious and is wiped off clean! So chill..
