Spiced Mango Mint Lassi
This Spiced Mango Mint Lassi is a refreshing blend of sweet mango and cool mint, with a hint of warmth from the spices. It’s one of those drinks that just makes you feel good inside.
I remember the first time I had a lassi—it was during a summer trip to an Indian market.
The blend of flavors was so vibrant and refreshing that I just had to recreate it in my own kitchen.
My version is plant-based, of course, and I love how the spices bring out the sweetness of the mango.
Plus, mint adds this lovely freshness that’s perfect for a warm day!

Ingredients & Substitutions
Using a really ripe mango is key—it should be fragrant and slightly soft to the touch. If you can't find coconut yogurt, any other plant-based yogurt works, but I just love the creaminess of coconut here. You could also swap out the mint for basil for a different twist!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my mangoes at room temperature until they’re perfectly ripe—it makes all the difference in flavor.
- •If you want an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper for some heat!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll throw in a banana for added creaminess if I have one lying around.
- •You could also add a splash of vanilla extract for a different flavor profile.
Storage & Freezing
This lassi is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Just give it a good shake before drinking, as it may separate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prep the ingredients and blend them when you’re ready to serve. If you blend it too far in advance, the mint might lose some of its vibrancy.
