Mango Lassi
This Mango Lassi is SO EASY! A refreshing, creamy Indian drink blending ripe mangoes, yogurt, and a hint of cardamom for a perfect fruity treat.
Equipment
- Blender
- Knife
- Cutting Board
- Measuring Cup
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes peeled and chopped
- 1 cup plain yogurt full-fat or low-fat, Greek yogurt works beautifully
- 1/2 cup milk any variety, dairy or plant-based
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or sugar adjust sweetness to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom optional
- ice cubes optional, for chilled drink
Instructions
- Start by peeling and chopping your ripe mangoes. Remove the pit and cut the fruit into chunks that are easy to blend.
- In a blender, add the chopped mangoes, plain yogurt, and milk. Then add honey or sugar according to your preferred level of sweetness. If using cardamom, sprinkle it in now.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add more milk if the mixture is too thick.
- If desired, add a few ice cubes and pulse the blender a couple of times to crush them slightly. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use ripe and fragrant mangoes for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Adjust sweetness gradually to avoid an overly sugary drink.
- For a dairy-free or vegan version, substitute yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours and stir before serving.
- Try seasonal variations like adding mint or lime juice in summer, or warming with cinnamon in winter.
