Ingredients

2 cups heaped fresh strawberries
2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup plain vegan yogurt
1/4 cup plain unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp cardamom powder
3-4 saffron strands
2-3 tbsp maple syrup (or as per taste)

suggested garnishes

Instructions

Rinse and pat dry the strawberries and hull them with a sharp knife to remove the green leafy top.
In a high-speed electronic blender, combine hulled strawberries and cocoa powder and blend it smooth. Keep it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, almond milk, cardamom and saffron. With the help of a manual hand-held wooden blender or an immersion blender, blend them until smooth and creamy.
Pour in the strawberry mixture to the yogurt mixture and again blend them well with the hand blender.
Stir in maple syrup and let it chill in the refrigerator.
When ready, pour it into the serving glasses. Garnish and enjoy!

Notes

This tastes best when served chilled and immediately.
You may use crushed ice to chill faster.
Do not add any extra liquid when blending strawberries. I recommend using a high-speed blender for this step.
It can be refrigerated for a few hours without garnishes. When ready, pour, garnish and serve.
The nutritional information is provided without the garnishes. It may vary depending on your choice of toppings and their quantities.
