Gopi Rosewater Lassi Review

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve seen Gopi yogurt and lassi drinks quite a few times but the Gopi rosewater lassi caught my eye because I hadn’t seen it before. I found it at the new Namaste Spiceland in Pasadena. They had three lassi flavors: Rosewater, mango and plain. The drinks are 1 pint each and they sell for $1.49. The drinks, which are distributed by Karoun Dairies, are made with California milk that hasn’t been treated with rbST.

* Rosewater lassi: This was so good – not too thick and not too thin and watery. I could taste the plain yogurt flavor and the subtle floral almost fruity rosewater flavor. It was tangy, sweet and not too heavy.

Ingredients: Pasteurized milk & cream, water, sugar, whey protein concentrate, sodium citrate, disodium phosphate, carrageenan, guar gum, salt, whey powder, corn starch, standardized with dextrose, tapioca starch, milk solids, natural flavors, fruit & vegetable juice (color), and potassium sorbate to maintain freshness. Contains live active cultures.

One bottle contains 2 servings. Each serving has 229 calories, 10g total fat, 31g total carbohydrate, 30g total sugars, and 6g protein. Yes, one serving does have a lot of sugar. 

I've tried different kinds of yogurt drinks and I think lassis are the best kind of yogurt drink.

4 out of 5 stars.

Trader Joe's Yogurt Covered Almonds and Lassis

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurt covered pretzels and raisins have been around for awhile. Now Trader Joe's has yogurt covered whole almonds. California almonds are roasted and dipped in thick white yogurt coating. The creamy coating is quite sweet but a little tangy. It's made with yogurt cultures and yogurt flavored powder. An 11 ounce tub is $3.99. 4 out of 5 stars.

The TJ's Indian style lassis are good too. The plain lassi is quite sour, very thick and very creamy. It's much more sour than it is tangy. I like to either stir in honey or sugar and drink it or add cereal. Lassis are available in mango and plain ($2.69) for 32 fl. ozs. 4 out of 5 stars.
