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.

April 3, 2014 at 1:16 pmI 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. 🙂

July 19, 2019 at 7:50 amLoved 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!!
