Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup ripe mango chunks fresh or frozen, about 1 large mango
- 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt for best creaminess
- 1 cup cold milk whole or 2% for richness
- 2 tbsp honey or sugar adjust to taste based on mango sweetness
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom optional, for authentic flavor
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice optional, for a tangy note
Notes
For a thicker lassi, use Greek yogurt or reduce the milk. To make ahead, prepare and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; shake or stir before serving as it may separate. For a vegan version, substitute yogurt with coconut yogurt and milk with almond milk. Frozen mango works perfectly and makes the lassi extra cold and creamy without ice. Serve as a refreshing breakfast drink, afternoon pick-me-up, or light dessert.
