Pair it with your favorite appetizers, invite your loving friends over and enjoy this refreshing drink by the porch! Mangoes can be enjoyed as is or in savory and sweet dishes. Since mangoes are in abundance, I plan to make Mango lassi. It’s everyone’s favorite, and you can make it ahead of time… and it tastes great when cold! Nothing is better to quench your thirst on hot summer days than a seasonally-inspired Mango Lassi. Now onto the recipe! Delicious mango lassi is prepared with yogurt and sweet mango pulp. It’s pretty close to mango smoothie which follows the same method leaving out the essence and cardamom and substituting with vanilla flavor. The mangoes I used were very sweet so I kept my sugar on the low side. Looking for a healthy option to substitute honey for sugar. If you find it too thick, dilute it with more milk or cream and adjust accordingly to one’s liking. I like to flavor my mango lassi with different essence alternating between rose water, kewra, and mango essence. If I am adding essence to my lassi, I usually leave it out on cardamom because of its strong flavor. Its strong flavor will conflict with whatever essence I am adding. Add ice cubes and enjoy this very tasty and full of nutrients mango drink. Add mango chunks to give it a chunky texture. This summer enjoy this rich, creamy, and pleasantly flavored sweet Mango lassi that is very refreshing!! During summer break it’s a must-have for my kids. 🙂 Some other thirst-quenching drinks that I like to sip on include the refreshing Strawberry flavored water, Pineapple mango Pina colada, Sunshine tropical smoothie, and many more! I sure hope that you give these a try! If you happen to make them then share your yum pictures with me on @facebook. Would love to see your creations!
