Mango Lassi Recipe

Mango Lassi Recipe – Indian Mango Drink

Lassi is a popular Indian classic drink made with yogurt and spices. You can make a salted lassi without sugar and add mint for a refreshing summer drink or you can make a fruit lassi with sugar such as this mango Lassi. So, mango lassi is basically a Mango milkshake or mango smoothie. It can be made in 5 minutes from fresh, frozen or canned mangoes and some full-fat or low-fat yogurt. It can also be flavored with cardamom, saffron or turmeric.

Whether you call it Lassi, yogurt drink, mango milkshake or mango smoothie I’m sure you will agree; nothing is more refreshing on a hot summer day that a drink like this with the cooling effect of yogurt and the delicious succulent stone fruit Mango.

Mangoes

The mango pulp is the softest fruit pulp; it just melts in the month. It is the most refreshing drink you can make in summer with just a blender and three ingredients such as yogurt, mango, and sugar. It takes just 5 minutes. Throw in a few ice cubes and you have the MOST REFRESHING SUMMER DRINK EVER!!

Let’s talk ingredients and substitutes (Save/Pin)

• Mangoes – If you can find fresh, use fresh if not you can use canned mangoes for this too!
  What I like to do is – when mangoes are in season I freeze a batch so I can use them when I need to offseason. I showed you  How to freeze mangoes – to use off-season in this post. 
• Sugar / Honey – If you use fresh mangoes in the season you probably won’t need much sugar. So do a taste test, you want it to have a nice sweet yogurt drink but not too sweet as well. If you prefer you can use Honey too! It works just as well.
• Yogurt – The thicker the yogurt you use – the thicker the drink you will have.  Personally, I use my homemade yogurt from scratch made with 3% fat. You can use anything from Greek yogurt for a thick creamy to a low-fat yogurt for a light refreshing drink.
• Ice – Ice works great in summer drinks but if you want you could omit the ice and use just cold yogurt. The drink will be less thick but you will still enjoy it.

Make it Vegan/Dairy Free

Traditionally Mango Lassi is made with milk yogurt but nowadays we get many non-dairy yogurts in the market like coconut milk yogurt and Cashew milk yogurt. Go ahead and try whichever flavor works for you. I have made this will just plain cashew milk and that works too! Try my Mango Chia Smoothie

Coconut Mango Lassi aka Mango Smoothie

The classic Indian lassi with mango and yogurt takes a modern twist with mango and coconut milk instead. This simple, easy and effortless coconut mango lassi drink made with luxurious sweet coconut milk and fresh seasonal mangoes take no more than 5 minutes to prepare and is naturally vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free.

Useful Tips and Tools

• You don’t need many types of equipment to make lassi – a good hand blender or Ninja blender works great.
• A cutting board and kitchen kinfe to clean and chop the mangoes.
• I love serving my drinks in cocktail glasses though they are non-alcoholic drinks.
