Do you remember the frozen yogurt craze? Get ready for froyo 2.0. This thick and creamy frozen dessert is inspired by the mixed yogurt drink called Lassi, which Britannica says originated in India. Lassis can be savory or sweet, and this one is a bit of both.
Even better, it’s made from high-probiotic Greek yogurt, which helps replenish your gut with beneficial bacteria that have been shown to have a variety of health benefits, from aiding digestion to helping the body make certain vitamins and amino acids, according to the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health. A healthy dose of prebiotic fiber from the mangoes also gives these bacteria a boost. A pear replaces the added sugar in this recipe, giving it a delicious natural sweetness.
