Servings: 3 cups (about 2-3 servings)
Calories: 199 kcal
Course: Drinks

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain coconut yogurt (or a cashew based yogurt) 230 grams
  • 2 sweet ripe mangos about 530 grams
  • 1 tablespoon raw shelled hemp seeds
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel and cube the chilled ripe mangos.
  2. In a blender, blend all the ingredients. Continue to mix until all hemp seeds have been pulverized and disappeared into the vegan yogurt. The drink should have a smooth and creamy texture.
  3. If you are using a high-speed blender, start first on the lowest speed setting, then gradually move up to the highest speed option.
  4. If you stored the mangoes in the fridge the night before, the drink will be cool enough to enjoy immediately. Otherwise, chill in the fridge before serving.
  5. Garnish with mint leaves, extra fresh mango slices, pistachios, or coconut shreds (all optional).

Notes

  • Helpful Tips:
  • Variations:
  • Storage:
  • Store leftover mango lassi in the fridge for up to three days. It won't necessarily go bad after that, but it won't taste as fresh. Make sure to store it in a covered glass. Give it a good stir before enjoying it again.
  • Use ripe Mangoes: Use sweet, ripe mangoes. Otherwise, this mango milkshake might turn out bland and lack the fruit's natural sweetness.

  • Consistency: Plant-based yogurt might make the consistency a tad thicker than regular (fermented) yogurt. If the mixture is too thick, you can add more of your favorite plant-based milk until you reach your desired consistency.

  • For a cold mango lassi: Refrigerate ripened mangoes the day before or use frozen mango cubes (frozen fruit) to keep this delicious vegan mango lassi chilled.

  • Want a thinner lassi? Add more plant-based milk. Coconut, almond, cashew, or oat milk are all great options. My favorite is cashew milk for this recipe.
  • Adjust sweetener: Play around with adding sweets to this drink; you might prefer more or less maple syrup than the suggested amount. You can also add Monk fruit instead of syrup, which works well.
  • Vegan yogurt: I prefer coconut or cashew-based yogurt. 
  • Don't mind dairy products? You can certainly make this beverage with good-quality yogurt. Go for traditionally fermented yogurt with no added sweeteners, thickeners, or other flavors. I love plain organic Bulgarian yogurt; it has a refreshingly tart flavor and all the benefits of healthy probiotics (live acidophilus). Probiotic yogurt has a creamy and liquid part. Make sure you stir well before using it in this recipe to get the right thickness—not too thick or too liquidy.
