Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1-2

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Ripe mango (fresh or frozen chunks)

  • 1 cup Plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works for a thicker texture)

  • 1/2 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based like almond/coconut)

  • 1-2 tsp Honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on fruit sweetness)

  • 1/4 tsp Ground cardamom (this provides that signature floral aroma)

  • Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled slushy consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: If using fresh mango, peel and dice the fruit, ensuring you remove the pit. If using frozen mango, you can skip the ice cubes later for a thick, frosty result.

  2. Combine: Place the mango chunks, yogurt, milk, sweetener, and ground cardamom into a high-speed blender.

  3. Blend: Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and velvety. If the consistency is too thick, add a splash more milk and pulse again.

  4. Taste Test: Take a small sip to check the sweetness. Add more honey if needed, as the tartness of the yogurt varies by brand.

  5. Serve: Pour the lassi into a chilled glass.

Garnish & Tips

  • The Finish: Sprinkle a pinch of ground cardamom or cinnamon on top, just like in the photo.

  • Freshness: Add a sprig of mint for a pop of color and a cooling scent.

  • Consistency: For a “spoonable” dessert version, use less milk and more frozen mango.
