Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious drink:

• Fresh Ripe Mangoes: Choose mangoes that yield slightly to pressure for sweetness; they should smell fragrant too.

• Plain Yogurt: Use full-fat yogurt for creaminess; Greek yogurt works well too for thicker texture.

• Milk: Whole milk adds richness but feel free to use almond or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.

• Honey or Sugar: Adjust sweetness based on your preference; honey adds depth while sugar gives pure sweetness.

• Cardamom Powder: A pinch enhances the flavor profile with its warm spice; it’s aromatic magic!

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and chopping the mangoes into small cubes. The riper they are, the sweeter your lassi will be!

Add Everything to Blender: Toss the chopped mangoes into a blender along with yogurt, milk, honey (or sugar), and cardamom powder.

Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until all ingredients merge into a velvety mixture; stop occasionally to scrape down the sides.

Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Give it a taste test! Adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or sugar before blending again.

Chill and Serve: Pour into glasses and chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes; serve cold for maximum refreshment.
