A mango lassi is just as easy to make as a smoothie or a milkshake! In fact, I’ve even used ice cream instead of yogurt (and left out sweeteners) and made a mango milkshake lassi, and it was incredible. The added spice is really what sets this lassi apart!
Add Ingredients: Add the yogurt, milk, frozen mangoes, honey, and cardamom into a high-powered blender.
Blend: Blend at high speed for about 1 minute until you get a smooth silky texture.
Adjust: If the mango lassi is too thick, add more liquid and blend until you reach the desired thickness. Or if you prefer it thicker, add ice!
Enjoy: Taste and add additional sweetener if it’s too tangy for your liking. Pour into serving glasses and enjoy!
Tips for Making Mango Lassi
A mango lassi is super simple to make and a favorite at my house! It’s so easy to whip up too. You will fall in love with all of the amazing lassi flavors you can create! Here are a few tips to take your mango lassi to the next level.
Using Fresh Mangos: If you want to use fresh mangoes, you can absolutely do that! Make sure to buy fresh and sweet mangoes for the best flavor lassi. You will peel the mango skin off and cut the mango flesh off the stone. You will need to add ice in order to get a nice thick consistency, just like a smoothie. Start with 1 C of ice and see how thick it is, and add more ice if it is too runny.
Types of Yogurt: I used plain yogurt, but you could use greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is thicker and there is a really great honey greek yogurt that would go perfectly. You could also use sweetened yogurts or vanilla yogurt if you like your lassi on the sweet side. I’ve tried it with coconut yogurt, and it was amazing!
Adding Flavors and Garnishes: One of the most common additions to a lassi is saffron (Kesar). It goes perfectly with mango and cardamom, so feel free to add it in! Another common one is almonds, you could add about 1 tsp crushed almonds for garnish. Pistachios are also a great garnish. You could also add any other fruit that you think would be yummy!
Making A Vegan Mango Lassi: This recipe is a great vegan recipe if you switch out the milk! You could use a plant-based milk like almond milk or coconut milk.
Storing Leftovers
Mango lassi is best enjoyed fresh. It tends to melt and taste less fresh the longer it is left in the refrigerator. It won’t go bad right away, but it definitely tastes best right after you make it!
In the Refrigerator: You can store your mango lassi for up to two days in the refrigerator. It won’t go bad that quickly, but the fresh fruit will start to turn colors and not taste as good.
