Spicy Mango Lassi
This Spicy Mango Lassi is a vibrant, creamy drink that balances sweetness with a kick of spice, and it always brings a smile to my face.
I remember the first time I tried a mango lassi at an Indian restaurant—it was love at first sip!
I wanted to create a version that kept all the joy but made it plant-based and a bit spicier.
This drink is my go-to for a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up, and I love how the heat from the spices complements the sweetness of the mango.
Plus, it’s packed with nourishing ingredients that make me feel good inside and out.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using ripe mangoes because they bring the perfect amount of sweetness. If you can’t find fresh mango, frozen mango works too—just let it thaw a bit before blending. The coconut yogurt gives it that creamy texture, but feel free to use any plant-based yogurt you enjoy.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my coconut yogurt in the fridge overnight to make sure it’s nice and cold before blending.
- •If you want to make a big batch, just double the ingredients and store any leftovers in the fridge.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a squeeze of lime juice for a tangy twist.
- •You can also throw in a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost—it's a sneaky way to get more nutrients!
Storage & Freezing
This lassi is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good shake before you drink it, as it may separate a little.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this lassi without coconut yogurt?
Absolutely! You can substitute it with any other non-dairy yogurt, or even silken tofu for a protein boost.
How spicy is this lassi?
It has a nice kick from the cayenne, but you can always start with less and adjust to your taste. It’s all about what feels good for you!
