When summer peaches are at their sweetest, simple recipes like a homemade lassi let their flavor shine. This Persian Rose Peach Lassi is a cool, creamy blend of juicy peaches, probiotic-rich yogurt, and warm, floral spice—all lightened up with almond milk and a drizzle of honey. In just five minutes, you’ve got a glass of sunshine perfect for breakfast, snack, or an afternoon pick-me-up.
I first discovered lassi as I was searching for ways to use our abundance of peaches and stumbled on this gem that my husband and I both loved. It’s the ultimate antidote to summer heat. Classic lassi is a blend of fruit, yogurt, and a dash of cardamom. Of course, I had to put my own twist on the recipe and reached for my Spice Cure Persian Rose blend for more layers of delicious flavor that cardamom alone can’t match.
Spice Spotlight: Persian Rose
Persian Rose seasoning is a delicate, fragrant blend inspired by Middle Eastern cuisine. In addition to warm cardamom, Persian Rose has layers of organic rose petals, pomegranate, cinnamon, coriander, and nutmeg that elevates both sweet and savory dishes. It adds an exotic twist to this lassi, making it both refreshing and memorable.
Beyond lassi, Persian Rose shines in unexpected ways. I love it sprinkled over oatmeal or stirred into rice pudding, where the floral notes complement the creaminess. It also pairs beautifully with baked goods like shortbread or muffins and even roasted vegetables such as carrots or sweet potatoes. And when you want something soothing, a pinch in herbal tea or a homemade latte makes an ordinary cup feel luxurious.

Peach Lassi FAQs
Can I make Persian Rose Peach Lassi when peaches aren’t in season?
Yes! Frozen peach slices are an excellent substitute and give your lassi a frostier, thicker texture. You can also use canned peaches (drained, in juice, not syrup) for convenience and natural sweetness any time of year.
Is this recipe vegan-friendly or dairy-free?
Absolutely. Simply use coconut yogurt, almond or other nut milk, and swap honey for maple syrup to keep your lassi both vegan and dairy-free.
Can I prepare my peach lassi ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or stir before serving, as separation is natural.
Can I add extra protein or supplements?
Definitely. Collagen peptides or your favorite protein powder blend smoothly into this recipe and boost nutrition without changing the flavor or texture.
Do I need a special blender to make lassi?
No. Any standard blender works well for this recipe. Just make sure to blend until completely smooth and frothy.
Can I make peach lassi without yogurt?
Yes! To skip yogurt, simply increase the almond milk for liquid and add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to bring back thickness and nutrition. For a frosty texture, blend in extra ice cubes until you reach your preferred consistency.
