Is banana lassi good for your health?

The primary ingredient in banana lassi is, of course, bananas which have various vitamins and minerals, including calcium, magnesium, iron, folate, niacin, and B6. In addition, bananas are one of the best sources of potassium which is very good for controlling blood pressure.

The base ingredient is curd or yoghurt, which is very good for digestion and immunity. Further, it helps in stronger bones and teeth.

Both are very good for your health, so one can say that Banana lassi is very good for your health.

However, we are adding sugar to the lassi. If the bananas are sweet enough for you, then skip this ingredient.

However, if you want to add something for sweetness, not sugar, then honey is the best option. It will also add to the health factor.
