Mango Lassi (Mango Yogurt Smoothie)

Mango lassi is a summer twist to the authentic lassi with mango flavor. This is a sweet and delicious mango yogurt smoothie made with 3 ingredients only. Perfect as a dessert or as a breakfast smoothie.

Mango Lassi - A Cooling Summer Drink

This is my best post-meal dessert drink in the summer season. It is a rich, creamy, fruity drink that tastes awesome. Yet this is one of the easiest recipes next to a mango milkshake—only three necessary ingredients for my mango lassi. For the remaining flavor, you may add 1 - 2 more ingredients.

This is also one of the best summer drinks. It is delicious, keeps the body cool, and soothes the body to beat the summer sun's heat. And thanks to the cooling properties of yogurt. At the same time, this is also healthy in many other ways because of the combo of 2 superfoods.

What is mango lassi?

Mango lassi is a delicious mango-flavored lassi, i.e., mango yogurt smoothie in Indian style. To elaborate on what lassi is, this is an authentic Indian drink made with Greek yogurt. Thick yogurt or Greek yogurt is beaten to smooth, adding sugar to make a moderately dense and sweet drink. You can add a little water to dilute it a little bit. To be precise, this belongs to Punjabi cuisine.

So, mango lassi is a mango-flavored drink made with fresh mango pulp and beaten Greek yogurt. So you can also name this as a mango yogurt smoothie. This is a unique summer drink since we only get fresh mangoes in the summer. However, if you get frozen mangoes, this can please the taste buds in any season.

Again, yogurt has cooling properties and is hydrating. So, it is advised to consume yogurt-based drinks in the summer. This is my favorite summer cooler.

Tips: For better results, you may substitute sugar with other sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, jaggery powder, dates, agave syrup, stevia, etc. These will have a natural sweetness, and you can skip refined sugar in your mango yogurt smoothie.

How to make mango lassi (mango yogurt smoothie)?

Like other smoothie recipes, this is also a simple recipe. Just blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender. That's all. Your sweet yet healthy mango drink is ready in minutes.

Ingredients:

1. Mangoes: Take any pulpy variety mango. I prefer Alphonso mangoes. Substitute - Alphonso Mango Pulp

2. Yogurt: Greek yogurt or thick yogurt. Substitute - Vegan Yogurt like coconut yogurt

3. Sugar: To balance out the sour taste of yogurt, you need a sweetener. Take sugar or any sugar substitute. Also, take sugar as per the mango you are using, as mangoes have some natural sweetness.

4. Flavor and garnish: These are optional ingredients. Since cardamom adds a nice flavor to lassi, I have taken this. Also, you can add more dried fruits to make this little rich and heavy. For garnish, some Kesar strands or mint leaves would be good enough.

Method:

Take all ingredients, including cardamom and mango pulp, in a high-speed blender and whisk for 2 minutes. Here, you can add ½ - ¾ cup water to dilute if it's too thick. So quick mango lassi is ready in just 2 - 3 minutes.

Mango Yogurt Smoothie

This mango lassi is nothing but a yogurt-based smoothie. You can also make this energy-building high-protein breakfast smoothie for busy morning hours and replace your breakfast with this.

To make it healthier, you may add honey instead of refined white sugar. Also, add some bananas and dried fruits for your mango yogurt breakfast smoothie. To make it even healthier, add some rolled oats to the smoothie. A complete weight loss diet breakfast smoothie is ready in minutes.

For Vegan Mango Smoothie, replace dairy curd/ yogurt with coconut yogurt or any other non-dairy yogurt.

To give this a tropical flavor, add pineapple and in place of water, use coconut water for the smoothie. So with small changes, you can change the flavor of the smoothie without compromising on health.
