Spicy Mango Turmeric Lassi - Vegan recipe hero image

I’ll never forget the first time I tried a traditional lassi while traveling in India.

It was creamy, refreshing, and I knew I had to recreate that experience at home.

This Spicy Mango Turmeric Lassi blends those nostalgic flavors with a twist of spice and a whole lot of goodness.

I love how the turmeric adds a beautiful golden hue and a healthy boost that makes me feel like I’m sipping sunshine.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

The mango is the star here, so choose a perfectly ripe one for the best flavor. If you can’t find coconut yogurt, any plant-based yogurt will work, but I love coconut for its creaminess. And don’t skip the black pepper; it really helps your body absorb the benefits of turmeric!

Tips & Notes

  • I like to keep some extra mango in the freezer for those spontaneous lassi cravings.
  • If you want a little more complexity, add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll add a handful of spinach or kale for a green twist—just blend it in with the other ingredients.
  • You can also swap the coconut yogurt for almond or cashew yogurt for a different flavor profile.

Storage & Freezing

This lassi is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as it may separate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen mango?

Absolutely! Just blend it straight from the freezer; it’ll make your lassi extra creamy and cold.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by preparing your ingredients. Peel and dice the mango, grate the ginger, and, if you’re using fresh turmeric, peel and chop that too.

  2. 2

    In a blender, combine the diced mango, coconut yogurt, coconut milk, grated ginger, turmeric powder, maple syrup, lime juice, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Blend everything until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick for your taste, you can add a bit more coconut milk.

  4. 4

    Taste the lassi and adjust the sweetness with more maple syrup if you like.

  5. 5

    If you want a chilled drink, throw in a handful of ice cubes and blend again.

  6. 6

    Pour it into your favorite glasses and enjoy immediately, or chill it in the fridge for a bit if you prefer it cold!
