Ingredients & Substitutions
For the mango, I always choose the ripest ones I can find; they’re sweeter and blend better. Coconut yogurt gives that creamy texture, but you can swap it for any other non-dairy yogurt. If you want to up the spice, feel free to add a pinch more chili powder or even some fresh ginger!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep my mangoes at room temperature until they’re perfectly ripe, then toss them in the fridge to chill before using.
- •Experiment with different spices! A pinch of cinnamon can add a lovely depth.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll swap out the mango for strawberries or peaches for a fruity twist.
- •You could also add a splash of vanilla extract for a different flavor profile.
Storage & Freezing
This lassi is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a quick stir or shake before enjoying again!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen mango?
Absolutely! Just adjust the almond milk if it’s too thick. Frozen mango will also make it extra cold and refreshing.
