Thick and creamy Mango Lassi – a yoghurt based milkshake that’s as refreshing as it is delicious! Lightly sweetened and spiced with a pinch of cardamom.

I don’t think there’s ever a bad time for a mango lassi. Breakfast? Sounds good! Mid day pick-me-up? Sure thing! Dessert? Sign me up!

If you’re not yet familiar with it, Lassi is an Indian yoghurt-based drink. It comes in many different flavours, mango & otherwise. You can find it in both sweet and savoury forms and is often enjoyed alongside or after a spicy dish.

Given the fact that this mango lassi is made up of yoghurt, fruit and a little bit of spice there’s no reason to feel guilty about enjoying this anytime of day.

Making it is just a matter of throwing everything in a blender and processing until it’s thick and creamy. The amount of added sweetener will mostly just depend on how ripe your mango is. The riper the mango, the less sugar you’ll need.

If you’re after a dairy free option you can absolutely use dairy free yogurts/milk here. Keep in mind that coconut yoghurt will make for a more coconut-y flavour which you may or may not like based on your own personal preference.

All together this mango lassi is super easy to make, incredibly satisfying and fills you up while still feeling light and refreshing.

Enjoy!
