- Mix with a spoon till well combine
- Add one or two cubes of ice to each glass of ayran for the extra chill and to keep it cool and refreshing

Notes
I like to make the green juice first and only mix the juice with cold yogurt just before serving.
This way yogurt is not overheated in the blender and second I just love the visual process of combining the green juice with white yogurt. 😍
Enjoy this vegan green ayran as such (great refreshing drink on a hot sunny day) or you can pair it with a variety of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern flavors dishes. I like to pair it with falafel, hummus and pita bread, tabouleh Salad, grilled vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers, or lentil soup (love how the coolness of the ayran contrasts with the warmth of a hearty lentil soup). Delish!
Enjoy!
