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.

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.
