Creamy Mango Smoothie

Creamy Mango Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1-2

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Fresh Mango: Peeled and diced (Alphonso or Honey mangoes work best for that deep orange color).

  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt: Plain or vanilla (use full-fat for maximum creaminess).

  • ½ cup Milk: (Dairy, almond, or coconut milk all work perfectly).

  • 1-2 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup: Depending on how sweet your mangoes are.

  • ¼ tsp Cardamom Powder: (Optional, but gives it that authentic “Lassi” flavor).

  • Ice Cubes: A small handful if you want it extra chilled.

The Toppings (As seen in your photo)

To get that professional look, garnish with:

  • Fresh Mango chunks

  • Crushed Pistachios and Almonds

  • A few strands of Saffron

  • A sprig of Fresh Mint


Instructions

  1. Combine: Add the mango, yogurt, milk, sweetener, and cardamom into a high-speed blender.

  2. Blend: Start on low and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45-60 seconds until the texture is completely smooth and velvety.

  3. Adjust: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it colder, toss in a few ice cubes and pulse again.

  4. Assemble: Pour into a tall glass. Carefully place your mango chunks and nuts on top so they “float” on the thick foam.

  5. Serve: Add a straw and enjoy immediately!


Pro Tip: For an even creamier, milkshake-like consistency without using ice, use frozen mango chunks instead of fresh ones. It keeps the flavor intense without watering it down!
