This Fresh Mango Lassi Treat is creamy, fruity, and just sweet enough, with a little green cardamom giving it that lovely finishing touch.
That ripe mango on the counter has plans, and they involve a very cold glass of Fresh Mango Lassi Treat
Why you will love and enjoy this Fresh Mango Lassi Treat
- It’s quick: Everything goes into the blender, so there’s very little fuss.
- It’s easy to adjust: You can make it sweeter, thinner, or thicker depending on your mango and yogurt.
- It tastes fresh: Ripe mango gives the best flavour, while canned mango pulp works beautifully when fresh mangoes aren’t available.
Additional Information
- Can this be frozen? This recipe is best made fresh rather than frozen. Freezing and thawing can change the smooth, creamy texture of the yogurt and mango.
- How long can it be stored and how? Keep leftover lassi covered in the refrigerator and use it within 24 hours. Give it a good stir or shake before serving, as some separation is normal.
- Can I use frozen mango? Yes. Thaw 1 cup frozen mango first if it’s very firm, then blend as directed. You may need less ice because the mango will already be cold.
- Can I use canned mango pulp? Absolutely. It’s a great option when fresh mangoes aren’t in season. Check the label before adding sugar because some mango pulp is already sweetened.
- What yogurt works best? Plain full-fat yogurt gives the creamiest result, but regular plain yogurt works too. Greek yogurt will make the lassi noticeably thicker, so add a little extra milk if needed.
- Can I leave out the cardamom? Yes. The 1/4 tsp green cardamom powder adds a lovely traditional flavour, but the lassi will still be delicious without it.
- Can I use another sweetener? Yes. You can substitute the 3 tbsp sugar with honey, maple syrup or another sweetener you like. Start with less and add more after tasting.
- What if my lassi is too thick? Add milk 1 tbsp at a time until it reaches the consistency you like.
- What if my lassi is too thin? Add a little more yogurt or mango pulp. A few extra ice cubes will chill it, but they can also dilute it as they melt.
- What if my mango isn’t very sweet? Add the 3 tbsp sugar gradually rather than all at once. The sweetness of mangoes can vary quite a bit.

Description
Skip the complicated mango lassi recipes. This one belongs in the blender and nowhere near the stove. It’s creamy, cold, fruity, and ready in about 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup chopped ripe mangoes, or 1 cup mango pulp
- 3 tbsp sugar, optional, to taste
- 1/4 tsp green cardamom (elachi) powder
- Ice cubes, as needed
Instructions
- If you’re using fresh mangoes, peel and chop 1 cup ripe mangoes.
- If the mango is stringy, blend the 1 cup chopped mangoes first, then sift the pulp to remove the fibres. You can skip the sifting if your mango is smooth and fibre-free. If you’re using canned mango pulp, simply measure 1 cup mango pulp.
- Add 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 cup mango to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add 3 tbsp sugar, if needed, and 1/4 tsp green cardamom (elachi) powder. Blend again. Your mango may already be quite sweet, so don’t feel you have to use all the sugar.
- Add a handful of ice cubes and blend briefly, or stir them in and let the lassi stand for a few minutes so it gets nicely chilled.
- Don’t add too much ice or it can water down the flavour.
- Give the lassi one final stir, taste it and adjust with a splash more milk if you want it thinner, or a little more yogurt if you prefer it thicker. Pour into glasses and serve straight away.
