Why Mango Lassi Milkshake?

This Lassi twist takes things up a notch. Lassi, a traditional yogurt-based drink from India, infuses the mango with a tangy zip that balances the sweetness perfectly. Think of it as a milkshake’s cooler, more cultured cousin. Plus, it’s:

  • Super simple: Just a handful of ingredients and a quick blitz in the blender. Boom, instant bliss!
  • Customizable: Adjust the sweetness, tang, and thickness to your heart’s content. Think mango madness, cardamom crush, or even a hint of mint for a mojito twist.
  • Naturally healthy: Packed with probiotics from yogurt, vitamins from mangoes, and the satisfaction of a homemade treat. Win-win-win!

Gather your Mango Militia:

ripe mango
  • 1 ripe mango, chopped (or 1 cup frozen mango chunks): The riper, the sweeter, the dreamier.
  • 1 cup plain yogurt: Full-fat or low-fat, your call. Just ditch the flavored varieties for this one.
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy): Adjust based on desired thickness. Coconut milk adds a tropical twist!
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional): If your mangoes are super sweet, you might not need this. Taste as you blend!
  • Pinch of ground cardamom (optional): Adds a touch of exotic warmth.
  • Ice cubes (optional): For an extra frosty fiesta.

The Magical Blending Ritual:

  1. Toss all your ingredients (except ice, if using) into your trusty best blender for Milkshakes.
  2. Pulse a few times to get things acquainted, then blend on high until smooth and creamy. Think smoothie heaven, not chunky chutney.
  3. If using ice, add it now and blend again until you reach your desired milkshake-y consistency.
  4. Pour into tall glasses, garnish with a sprinkle of cardamom or a mango slice (fancy!), and savor your homemade paradise.

Tips for Mango Lassi Milkshake:

  • Feeling adventurous? Add a handful of fresh mint leaves or a pinch of ginger for a flavor explosion.
  • Want a thicker lassi? Use less milk or skip the ice. Thin it out? More milk or a splash of water is your friend.
  • Make it a party! Share with friends. Or get creative with individual servings using different fruits like berries or pineapple.

So ditch the store-bought sugar bombs and blend your way to a happier, healthier you with this Mango Lassi Milkshake. Remember, the beauty of homemade is in the personalization! Experiment, have fun, and let your taste buds guide you to your own Lassi nirvana. Now go forth, blend, and conquer that summer heat!

A: Stick to plain yogurt for this recipe. Flavored varieties can clash with the mango and Lassi vibes.

How sweet is it? Do I need honey or maple syrup?

Taste as you blend! Super sweet mangoes might not need extra sweetness. Start without, then add honey or maple syrup by the tablespoon until it’s perfect for you.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Absolutely! Use non-dairy yogurt and milk alternatives like coconut milk for a tropical twist.
