Mango Lassi Recipe
This Mango Lassi Recipe is a creamy, no-bake, healthy Indian yogurt drink that’s perfect for summer.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe mango chunks fresh or frozen (Alphonso or Ataulfo preferred)
- 1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt substitute coconut yogurt for dairy-free
- 1/2 cup milk dairy or almond milk; adjust thickness
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup optional; based on mango sweetness
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom or a pinch of saffron threads for drama
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon or lime juice brightens flavors
- 4-6 ice cubes optional for extra chill
- Mint leaves or chopped pistachios for garnish
Instructions
- If using fresh fruit, peel, pit, and chop into even pieces. Frozen mango works great—just let it thaw 5–10 minutes.
- Combine mango, yogurt, milk, honey (if using), cardamom, and lemon juice in a high-speed blender.
- Start on low speed, then crank up to high until the mixture is smooth. Scrape down sides with a spatula if needed.
- Toss in ice cubes and blend again for 5–10 seconds until frothy and chilled—listen for the ice crunching.
- Give it a sip; add a bit more sweetener or a squeeze of lime if you want extra zing.
- Pour into tall glasses, sprinkle with chopped pistachios or mint leaves, and slide in a straw.
Notes
• Use unsweetened yogurt to control sugar levels. • If mangoes lack flavor, stir in a splash of pure vanilla extract. • For thinner lassi, add an extra splash of milk or a tablespoon of water.
