While you can technically drink lassi with lunch, it's generally recommended to drink it after a meal.
Here's why:
-
Potential for Reduced Appetite: Drinking lassi before or during lunch can be quite filling due to its thickness and dairy content. This might lead you to eat less of your meal.
-
Digestive Benefits Post-Meal: Lassi is traditionally consumed after meals to aid digestion and cool the body. Its probiotic content can help with gut health and may ease digestion after a heavy meal.
Therefore, while not harmful to drink with lunch, you might find it more beneficial and comfortable to consume lassi after your meal.
