🥭 Creamy Mango Lassi
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 2
Ingredients
-
2 cups Fresh mango (peeled and chopped) or canned mango pulp
-
1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (or full-fat yogurt for extra creaminess)
-
½ cup Milk (whole milk or a plant-based alternative like coconut milk)
-
2-3 tsp Honey or sugar (adjust based on the sweetness of the mango)
-
¼ tsp Ground cardamom (optional, but highly recommended for that authentic flavor)
-
Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled texture)
Instructions
-
Blend: Add the chopped mango, yogurt, milk, sweetener, and cardamom into a blender.
-
Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy.
-
Adjust: If the lassi is too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it colder, toss in a few ice cubes and blend again.
-
Garnish: Pour into glasses. To match the image, thread a few fresh mango cubes onto a small skewer and rest it across the rim.
💡 Pro-Tips for the Best Lassi
-
Mango Choice: If using fresh fruit, look for varieties like Alphonso or Honey (Ataulfo) mangos; they are less fibrous and naturally sweeter.
-
The “Twist”: Add a tiny drop of rose water for a floral aroma that pairs beautifully with the mango.
-
Vegan Option: Use coconut yogurt and almond milk for a dairy-free version that still tastes rich and tropical.
