Best Mango Lassi recipe
It is a simple mango and yogurt smoothie. This is one of my kid’s favorites. Whenever we go to a restaurant they first ask for mango lassi. So I made it at home when we got some mangoes. This is the easiest and best recipe for mango lassi you get to try. This is creamy and delicious. You need just a handful of basic ingredients to make this drink.
The authentic mango lassi uses just mango, yogurt, and sugar. But in this recipe, I have used milk along with yogurt to give some thin drink texture.
How to make the best mango lassi?
Ingredients required
Mango – We need pulpy mango to make this drink. Not a fibrous one.
Yogurt – Thick yogurt which is not sour is required.
Milk – Try to use full-fat milk to get the thick creamy texture.
Sugar – You can adjust the sugar as per your need or based on the sweetness of the mango. You can also use any sweetener of your choice.
Cardamom – We use cardamom seeds, not the whole pod. Cardamom enhances the flavor. You can avoid it if you don’t like the cardamom flavor in your drink. I didn’t use it as my kids don’t like it.
Method
Peel the mango and chop it roughly. Take all ingredients in a blender. Blend it smooth. Serve chilled.

I grew up with mango trees in our backyard, so I’m a mango lover. This recipe is not only delicious but also nutritious. Thanks so much for the easy and yummy recipe.

Hi this looks great! I don’t have cardamom seeds but I have ground…could I use that? If so how much do you think? Thanks!
You can use less than 1/4 tsp as it may overpower. If you like the cardamom flavor, you may use 1/4 tsp. Thank you. Please let me know your feedback.
I was making mango lassi everyday (like a double portion) in the beginning of quarantine until I looked in the mirror and realised I needed to stop kidding myself. Now you are telling me to add cardamom? Lord help me! I LOVE cardamom!
