Vegan mango Lassi – Indian Mango Yogurt smoothie with ripe mango, non dairy yogurt and cardamom or saffron. Dairy-free, gluten-free.
Mangoes! I miss ripe, non fibrous, always sweet Mangoes. Summers in India meant so many varieties of mangoes and a constant sugar high. Mangoes as is, mangoes made into beverages, mangoes on ice creams, mangoes pretty much everywhere, all the time all through Summer. Mangoes here are lack luster 90% of the time. They are sour, fibrous and just not those Mangoes. Sigh.
But hey, there is Mango pulp made with Indian Mangoes available easily, and that can be used in several ways! Some of the Canned pulp/purees have a good content of sugar, while some are pure mango puree. I used some of my Mango pulp stash to whip up my favorite Lassi with So Delicious’s New set of Unsweetened Yogurts. The yogurts work beautifully in this Lassi. Add cardamom or saffron for variations!

A big pitcher of plain or Mango Lassi would be served up an hour after lunch on the weekends. The fresh mangoes would be ripe enough that any sweetener was never needed.
You can make your own non dairy yogurt too, with any thick non dairy milk. My favorites are almond cashew milk or cashew milk yogurt which makes a great lassi. Find out hot to make your own yogurt in my book.

Servings: 2
Calories: 218kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup (226 ml) Plain non dairy yogurt such as Coconut Milk Yogurt or Almond Milk Yogurt or Home made Almond Cashew Yogurt from my book or soy yogurt
- 1 cup (236 g) Mango pulp (I use canned) 1/4 cup more for more mango-ey Lassi or 1 1/4 cubed very ripe Mangoes
- 1/4 cup (62.5 ml) almond milk or other non dairy milk
- 1/4 cup (59 ml) chilled water or Ice cubes less or more for desired Lassi consistency
- a pinch of salt
- 1 Tablespoon raw sugar or maple less or more depending on the sweetness of the mango pulp.
- 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) lemon juice
- Variations: Add 1/4 tsp cardamom powder or saffron strands or rose essence or vanilla.
Instructions
- Blend all the ingredients until smooth . Taste and adjust sugar.
- Adjust consistency with more non dairy milk if needed and blend again. Serve chilled.
Notes
I use canned mango pulp from the Indian store. It makes the best lassi. If using fresh mangoes, make sure to use very ripe mangoes and blend well

I made this many times but the day I made it for my kids’ school celebration, using frozen mango and omitting the ice, I did not even leave the kitchen. I made this drink and it was gone and I repeated the process until the end of the event, every drop gone!! (I had poured myself a sample glass or I would not have gotten to try it.) Everyone wanted more so I shared the recipe website. This is a terrific recipe and I use it again and again!

Had a forgotten mango lurking in the back of the fridge that needed to be used. Glad I did as this was delicious! Used Dahlicious plain yogurt and coconut milk. Didn’t need any added sweetener. Included cardamom and a splash of rose water. Thanks for recipe!

Made this recipe with Kite Hill plain unsweetened almond yogurt and frozen mango cubes. Turned out just like the mango lassi I’ve been missing!
Amy Turton
This sound like the perfect vegan mango lassi recipe. Yum! I’m going to try it tomorrow. Richa, do you soak the saffron threads before adding them?
Richa
no just blend them

Loved it!!! I don’t use the salt but I add about 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Also, I like soy yogurt but I’ve yet to find plain coconut because of the availability where I live. Love The Alphonso mangoes or this recipe and mango chickpea curry. Thank you!!
Richa
awesome!

Thanks for sharing such nice recipe. This mango recipes can be made anytime if you have mango pulp ready with you. Mango pulp can be stored in deep freeze for months.
There are some more refreshing recipes and fabulous drinks made out of mangoes.

I recently saw a post in a plant-based FB group that I belong to with a recipe for a vegan mango lassi and I immediately thought, “Oh, I bet Richa has a great recipe for mango lassi.” You do; it’s fantastic. Thank you!
Tania Di Nardo
Just quickly whipped up this recipe and it was so delicious and tasted extremely authentic. I used Yoso unsweetened cultured almonds and cashews yogurt and it was perfect! Loved it! Thanks so much for this recipe, Richa!

I just ruined a batch of homemade coconut milk yogurt (tooooo runny!) and just when I was going to throw it out, remembered this recipe you posted. Made it with saffron strands and it was the bomb, lady. I’m going to try it with frozen strawberries, next. 🙂
