Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh, ripe mangoes for this recipe—they're the star of the show! If you can’t find fresh mango, you can use frozen mango, but it might alter the creaminess a bit. Coconut yogurt is my go-to for that lovely creamy texture, but any plant-based yogurt works too. And don’t skip the lime juice; it adds such a fresh zing!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to chill my glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes before pouring in the lassi. It makes each sip feel like a refreshing treat!
- •For extra creaminess, try adding a banana to the mix.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I switch things up by adding a pinch of cardamom for a more aromatic flavor.
- •You could also use pineapple instead of mango for a tropical twist!
Storage & Freezing
If you happen to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just remember to give it a good shake or stir before enjoying again, as the ingredients may separate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
I’d recommend enjoying it fresh for the best flavor and texture. But if you have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge for a day, just give it a good stir before drinking.
