Easy, quick and nutritious. Our mango lassi recipe is easy to take on-the-go and is like a yogurt smoothie with a little hint of spice
- 1 cup plain yogurt if using Greek you'll want to add 1/2 cup water or milk
- 3 teaspoons sugar optional if fruit is already really sweet
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks or equivalent of fresh
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, optional or use equal amount cinnamon and nutmeg
- 4 whole pistachios, optional chopped
-
If using pistachios, shell and chop about 4 nuts for topping.
Drop mango, sugar, cardamom and yogurt in blender and mix until smooth.
Pour into drinking glass and top with chopped pistachios and just a little cardamom for color.
Substitute fresh mango for the frozen. If so add 1/2 cup crushed ice to the blender.
If using Greek yogurt you can dilute it with 1/2 cup water or milk since it's thicker than regular American yogurt.
Cardamom is a special spice but expensive. If you don't have any you can replace with equal amounts ground cinnamon and nutmeg or with some ginger.
To take on the go put in a small Mason jar or water bottle.
