Ingredients You’ll need
Mango – Fresh sweet Mango, frozen mango cubes or Mango Pulp – all forms of mango works great for this recipe. I have used Mango Pulp, as it is readily available in the pantry.
Yogurt – I like to use thick and creamy yogurt or even greek yogurt. For vegan alternative, use coconut yogurt or almond yogurt.
Cardamom powder – adds the richness to this Indian lassi.
Cold Water or Milk – is optional. However I like to add a bit of milk or water to dilute the consistency of my lassi. I am not fond of thick, spoonable lassi consistency.
If you hate milk, simply add a little more yogurt and adjust the consistency.
Garnishes are completely optional too. Add a pinch of saffron or even pistachio for additional flavor. Some people also enjoy adding a splash of rose water. All these garnishes makes the Lassi a restaurant style mango lassi recipe.

TIPS & SUGGESTIONS for MANGO SMOOTHIE LASSI
Cold Water / Cold Milk – Add water or cold milk to adjust the lassi to a desired consistency. I did not add any of them to my drink.
Use Ice cubes if you like the lassi colder.
How to make Lassi with frozen mango?
Frozen mango cubes also works great in this recipe. Use a high speed blender to blend smooth when you are working with frozen fruits.
Can I use sour yogurt for making lassi?
If you find your yogurt a bit sour, adding milk will adjust the flavors of the lassi.

This recipe can be easily made vegan. Use coconut yogurt or almond yogurt.
Use any vegan milk or water instead of plain milk.
