🥭 Fresh Mango Lassi Recipe

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 2

1 cup Fresh Mango: Diced (Alphonso or Kesar mangos are best for color and sweetness, but any ripe mango works).
1 cup Plain Yogurt: Use Greek yogurt for a thicker consistency or regular yogurt for a traditional feel.
1/2 cup Milk: (Or water) to adjust the thickness.
2 tablespoons Honey or Sugar: Adjust based on the sweetness of your mango.
1/4 teaspoon Cardamom powder: For that authentic floral aroma.
Ice cubes: A small handful for serving chilled.
Garnish: Fresh mint leaves or a pinch of saffron.

Prepare the Mango: Peel and dice your mango, discarding the pit.
Blend: Place the mango chunks, yogurt, milk, sweetener, and cardamom powder into a blender.
Smooth it out: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy.
Check Consistency: If it is too thick, add a little more milk. If you want it colder, add a few ice cubes and pulse again.
Serve: Pour into glasses. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf (as seen in your photo) or a few extra mango bits on top.

Vegan Option: Swap the dairy yogurt for coconut yogurt and use almond or oat milk. It pairs beautifully with mango!
No Fresh Mango? You can use 1 cup of canned mango pulp instead; just reduce the added sugar as the pulp is usually pre-sweetened.
The “Chill” Factor: For the best texture, ensure your yogurt and mango are cold before you start.
