What Is Lassi?
Lassi is a traditional Indian yogurt-based drink, blended with water, sugar or salt, and sometimes spices or fruits. It originated in Punjab, but today it’s loved across India and globally. Depending on the ingredients, lassi can be:
- Sweet – Made with sugar, cardamom, and sometimes saffron or rose water.
- Salted – Mixed with salt, cumin, and sometimes mint or coriander.
- Flavored – Such as mango lassi, rose lassi, or malai lassi topped with cream.
At Naresh Coffee Shop, our lassi is:
- Freshly blended using pure curd
- Served chilled with hygiene
- Customized to your flavor preferences

Lassi is more than a tasty drink — it’s a nutritional powerhouse when prepared with quality ingredients. Let’s explore the many health and lifestyle benefits of enjoying lassi from Naresh Coffee Shop.

- Aid digestion
- Reduce bloating
- Prevent constipation
That’s why lassi is often served after meals in Indian households.

❌ The Negative Side of Lassi
While lassi is a wholesome drink, it does come with certain drawbacks when consumed in excess or with unbalanced ingredients. Here’s what to watch out for:
⚠️ 1. Can Be High in Sugar
Sweet lassi and flavored lassis often contain added sugar, which can lead to:
- Weight gain
- Increased blood sugar levels
- Risk of type-2 diabetes
Tip: At Naresh Coffee Shop, you can request low-sugar or sugar-free options.
🥵 2. Not Ideal in Cold Weather
Since lassi cools the body, it may not be suitable during winter months or for people with:
- Cold or flu
- Sinus issues
- Respiratory sensitivity
Tip: Consume in moderation during cold seasons.
😴 3. May Cause Sluggishness
Lassi is heavy and filling, especially when made with cream or full-fat curd. This can sometimes lead to:
- Drowsiness after meals
- A feeling of heaviness
- Reduced productivity
Tip: Opt for light lassi without cream for daytime use.
🧂 4. Salted Lassi May Raise Sodium Intake
Too much salted lassi, especially with added black salt or rock salt, may:
- Increase blood pressure
- Lead to water retention
- Be unsuitable for people with kidney issues
Tip: Enjoy in moderation or ask for a lighter version.
🦷 5. Can Cause Dental Issues (If Sweetened)
Excess sugar in sweet lassi can:
- Lead to tooth decay
- Cause cavities
- Encourage bacterial growth in the mouth
Tip: Rinse your mouth with water after drinking, and request less sugar when ordering.
❗ 6. Not Suitable for the Lactose-Intolerant
As lassi is made from curd (a dairy product), it may not be suitable for people with lactose intolerance. It may cause:
- Gas
- Bloating
- Stomach cramps
Tip: Ask about plant-based yogurt options or try small quantities first.
