This luscious, creamy and delicious, thick mango lassi, an Indian version of a mango smoothie, requires only a few ingredients and tastes heavenly! Deliciousness in a glass!
Mango lassi is essentially an Indian mango yogurt drink. You should definitely make the most of the mango season by making this really easy mango lassi recipe. But even if mangoes are not in season, you can still enjoy this lassi by using canned mango pulp, or frozen mango pulp easily available in Indian stores. Alphonso mangoes are undoubtedly the best to make milkshakes, lassi’s or any kind of mango based desserts.

MANGO LASSI INGREDIENTS
Indian mango lassi is made by blending yogurt, mangoes, sugar and some milk and is usually flavored with cardamom powder. Lassi is a perfect beverage to beat the summer heat, it is cooling and refreshing!
A savory lassi is made by blending yogurt, water, salt and spices such as roasted cumin. It is generally consumed along with meals in India.
Then there is sweet lassi, with added sugar and flavorings such as cardamom, kewra water, rose water etc. The sweet lassi is topped with some fresh cream. Nothing beats a tall glass of lassi, be it the plain sweet lassi, rose lassi, mango flavored lassi or any other kind of lassi. I love ’em all!
To make this mango lassi recipe, I have used canned Alphonso mango pulp which also gives a gorgeous yellow hue to this lassi drink. The pulp is already sweetened, though I still added about 2 tbsp of honey. Feel free to add sugar or any natural sweetener as per your desired sweetness.
I am sure, by now you guys know that I love mangoes, considering the number of posts that I have published related to mangoes 🙂 This is just another of my favorite drinks!

Hi I need to make mango lassi in bulk for a party. I would say around 2 gallons. Could you please help me how much of these ingredients should I use?
Hey Rati! You’ll need about 15 cups each of mango pulp and yogurt, about 1.75 cups of sugar (adjust as per sweetness desired, start with less), about 1.75 cups milk to adjust the consistency (again add gradually) and approx 3.75 tsp cardamom powder. This will make a little over 2 gallons. If you do end up with excess, you can transfer them into popsicle moulds and enjoy mango lassi popsicles 😊
Using canned pulp, you can have this taste of summer all year round!
That’s true, Lynn! 🙂
These turned out way better than some mango lassi’s I’ve had at restaurants!
That’s awesome! So glad to hear that, Marin 🙂 Thanks for sharing your feedback!
Hi! Can you use plain greek yogurt? I do not have the other kind?
