is a traditional South Asian non-alcoholic beverage. In fact it is one of
the most popular beverages in Northern India. Mango Lassi is also a favorite
at Indian restaurants. This drink is a cross between a smoothie and a milk
shake. Choose low-fat or fat-free yogurt to cut the calories.

Preparation

Step 1

Preparation:
If using a fresh mango, peel and remove the flesh from the pit; cut mango into small pieces.

In a blender, add yogurt, lemon juice, mango pulp, water, and honey or sugar. Blend approximately 2 to 3 minutes or until you see a little forming in the mixture. Add the ice and blend until frothy! NOTE: Some people like to pour the mango mixture over ice cubes instead of blending the ice cubes in the drink.

The Mango Lassi can be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
