Mango Lassi

I couldn’t make it taste like my Indian grandma and her servants could make. But using mangoes flown halfway around the world plus greek yogurt and milk, and a little ground cardamom, it fooled my 9 year old pretty well.

Hiii this is a good recipe but definitely don’t use honey if you want that desi flavor. Substitute it with sugar to taste, and if you want your lassi to taste more desi as well, use more mangos than yogurt, if they aren’t frozen it’ll give you a richer texture :D

A lovely recipe that is adaptable to personal taste and ingredient availability. I always use coconut yogurt and non- dairy milk due to dietary restrictions, and typically skip/reduce the salt. When I've been out of mangos, I will use other frozen fruits in similar ratios- currently drinking one with mixed berries and oat milk, with a squeeze of lime. I realize this is an entirely different beverage and not at all authentic, but wanted to highlight the recipe's flexibility of application.

This recipe looks amazing. I will need to substitute, so asking for a recipe for Desi-yogurt. It is important to me that people not be shamed for their uniqueness. Healthful choices for me are: Nothing fermented, cultured, aged, or processed commercially (I may be able to use my own cultures without causing breathing issues - thus the request) Also, Sugar or maple syrup, not honey Milk or coconut fat, not olive oil Thank you!

This was… okay. I did it with full fat plain yogurt, not Greek. Hard no on the salt. Will not add that next time.

I had to strain mine as the mango I had was stringy (otherwise, delicious) and the drink was very unpleasant with those included. I think from now on I'll just make it a practice to strain it first. It's refreshing! And easy, with a blender, but the blender was no match for those strings.

My wife is vegan. This recipe works very well with oat milk and soy yogurt (Silk vanilla). She loves it!

Maaaaaan this is so good. I cut the recipe is thirds for an individual portion (using 1 Ataulfo/honey mango). I also replaced yogurt with sour cream because I didn’t have the yogurt, and I also added some pumpkin spice mix because I didn’t have the spices listed in the recipe… Super easy and very adjustable recipe :D

It seems to be missing some of the tang that I am used to, I don't think it needs the water and milk if you have a higher-powered blender.

Oops. Living in the area of Chicago that has no Indian grocery stores, I used Greek yogurt, and yes it's tart. Good thing my Asian friends bought me dreamy ripe mangoes to cover my sin. I hope I can score some Indian-style yogurt the next time.

I like frozen mango cubes work best because they keep the drink chilled and don’t have that stringiness that comes with some fresh fruit, especially if you use those big mangoes that are yellow-green-red, rather than the smaller orange Manila mangoes that grew outside my house when I was little. Just my preference.

I also have to say that when people suggest using “low-fat” substitutions, it mystifies me. Hasn’t the myth of low-fat been debunked by now as a money-making story promoted by the sugar companies when sugar was found to be the real evil? The things done to food that make it taste pretty flavorless, as well as worse for you in many cases, is often hardly worth the tradeoff for perceived weight loss aids that don’t even work, or heart-health that is actually far more encouraged by cutting sugar.

I think you can also use buttermilk if I am not mistaken. Yum!

We have made a drink like this regularly lately .Frozen mango, more consistent than fresh ones here, yogurt, milk or buttermilk, banana, and powdered ginger to taste. It's delicious and good for you. I add oatmeal for body sometimes. It's a good diet drink.

A delicious and simple recipe. I did not add honey and I did add an avocado for extra fiber and essential good fats.
