DAH!, maker of premium, slow-cultured yogurts that merge the time-tested, ancient wisdom of India's culinary traditions with the precision of modern methods and technologies, today announced that Indian-American author, TV host, producer and culinary expert Padma Lakshmi has joined the company as a board advisor and brand partner. In her new position with DAH!, Lakshmi will work hand-in-hand with the executive team and board of directors to advise on the overall direction of the company, brand equity and innovation strategy, and lend her expertise to the research and development department to help craft and test new products and flavors.

"I think DAH!'s Lassi (yogurt smoothie) is special because it has more probiotics and less sugar than a lot of drinkable yogurts. I'm looking forward to sharing this with the American public because it may be something new for them," said Padma Lakshmi. "It can play a vital role in gut health, nutrition, in getting enough protein, and in being a great addition to our diet that's just plain delicious."

On November 10, DAH! will release Tomato with Mixed Berries Lassi, a new product crafted in partnership with Lakshmi and inspired by her New York Times bestselling children's book "Tomatoes For Neela." Born in India, Lassi is a yogurt smoothie cooked at a lower temperature for a longer period of time yielding a smooth, richly textured, intensely flavorful product. DAH!'s Lassi varieties are always made with real fruit and pack 60 billion live probiotics per 32-oz. bottle, making them not only delicious but also excellent for digestive health. Tomato with Mixed Berries will join DAH!'s existing portfolio of Lassi yogurt smoothies, including Alphonso Mango (with mangoes sourced from India), Plain (with no added sugar), Vanilla with Cardamom, Strawberry with Mint and Peach with Honey.

"We are beyond honored for Padma to join our team, and bring along her wealth of food knowledge and understanding of consumer behavior," said Pamela Goldberg, CEO and board member of DAH!. "With Padma's passion and partnership, we have no doubt that Lassi will soon be a household name."

DAH!'s India-inspired yogurts are available in traditional and natural grocery stores nationwide, including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, Wegmans, Fresh Direct, Market Basket, Bristol Farms, select Kroger locations and more, plus for delivery on Instacart.com.
