Spiced Mango Lassi
This Spiced Mango Lassi is a refreshing twist on a classic, blending creamy coconut yogurt with the sweetness of ripe mango and a hint of spice. I love how the cardamom adds a warm note that makes each sip feel like a hug.
I remember the first time I had a traditional mango lassi during a summer trip to India.
It was so creamy and refreshing that I knew I had to create my own version when I went vegan.
This recipe is a nod to that memory, but I’ve made it my own by using coconut yogurt and adding some warming spices.
It's perfect for those hot days when you want something cool and nourishing!

Ingredients & Substitutions
When selecting mangoes, I always go for the ones that yield slightly to pressure. They should smell sweet and fragrant, indicating they're ripe. Coconut yogurt is my go-to for that creamy texture, but feel free to use any plant-based yogurt you love. If you want a less sweet lassi, you can skip the maple syrup.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep my coconut yogurt in the fridge for a quick snack or smoothie base.
- •For a little extra zing, sometimes I add a squeeze of lime juice!
Recipe Variations
- •You can swap the mango for other fruits like peaches or strawberries if you’re feeling adventurous.
- •If I want a protein boost, I’ll throw in a scoop of my favorite plant-based protein powder.
Storage & Freezing
This lassi is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, just store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Give it a quick stir before you sip, as it may separate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen mango?
Absolutely! Frozen mango works beautifully, just blend it straight from the freezer. You might want to reduce the ice cubes a bit.
