Description
This refreshing Mango Lassi recipe is a classic Indian smoothie-like drink made with ripe mangos, creamy Greek yogurt, sweet honey, and aromatic ground cardamom. Perfect as a cooling beverage on warm days, it combines the natural sweetness of mangos with the tangy richness of yogurt, creating a deliciously thick but pourable treat in just minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 ripe mangos, sliced
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 cups milk
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the sliced ripe mangos, Greek yogurt, honey, milk, and ground cardamom to your blender. Using ripe mangos ensures optimal flavor and natural sweetness. If you use frozen mangos, you may need to adjust the milk quantity to reach your preferred consistency.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high speed for about 30 to 60 seconds, until the mixture is completely smooth and free of fruit chunks. The final consistency should be thick yet pourable, very similar to a smoothie.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the lassi into glasses and garnish if desired, such as a sprinkle of ground cardamom or a few mint leaves, to make an appealing presentation. Serve chilled for the best experience.
Notes
- Use ripe mangos for the best flavor and sweetness; adjust milk if using frozen mangos to achieve desired thickness.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use a plant-based milk like almond or coconut milk.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste if you prefer it less sweet.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand for an even colder and more refreshing lassi without adding ice.
- Adding a pinch of salt can help balance the sweetness if desired.
