A must-try staple at Indian and Pakistani restaurants around the world! Mango Lassi is, in essence, a mango and yoghurt smoothie. Refreshing, tasty, and great for your stomach. Have it on its own or just after a meal. Besides, it only takes five minutes to make!
I love mangoes. They are, without a doubt, one of my favourite fruits. However, I rarely pick any up at the store. Why? Because I’m terrible at cutting them. And that’s especially weird because I’m generally rather good with a knife.
So when my aunt happened to give me a few mangoes, I found myself in a state of ‘elated apprehension’ – knowing that delight was only a few tedious, potentially blood-drawing, slices away. I found a fantastic solution though…
I got a friend to cut the mangoes up for me. Genius!

I love mango lassi! 🙂 Can’t remember the last time I had it, so I definitely gotta make one soon.
Riz
I think it’s about time you had another mango lassi! Hope you enjoy it Sina!!

These look amazing and make me wish so badly that I wasn’t allergic to mango! Do you think I could make it with another fruit?
Riz
Hey Jenna! I feel your pain, I’m allergic to apples and I hate it when I can’t try something that looks delicious because of it! Alas, a mango lassi without mango is no longer a mango lassi. ‘Tis one of life’s great tragedies.
However, you can certainly swap the mango for another fruit and make your own type of lassi. I’ve known people to make apple, and banana lassis. If you’re looking for a recipe idea – I’d love to see a passionfruit lassi (be sure to tell the world I gave you the idea!! haha).
Alternatively, you can just try my Orange-Blueberry Smoothie recipe.
Hope that helped! 🙂

Riz
Ah, perfect timing then! Enjoy!

I, too, love mangoes! This lassi looks amazing! That cardamom must be really nice in there.
Riz
Hi Cathy, I think the cardamom brings a nice contrast to the flavour!
