Mango Lassi with Kefir

This Mango Lassi with Kefir is a creamy and tangy smoothie-style drink blending ripe mango and plain milk kefir. Optional honey sweetens the blend while a pinch of cayenne pepper adds a subtle spicy complexity. Served chilled with or without ice cubes, the lassi offers a refreshing dairy-based beverage with a balance of fruity sweetness and fermented tang.

  • 4 ice optional, cubes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend mango and kefir together.
  2. Taste, and sweeten to taste with honey if desired.

Notes

  • The recipe yields two large servings or four smaller ones and can be stored refrigerated for 2-3 days.
  • For a thicker consistency, plain yogurt can be added; use more kefir or milk for a thinner drink.
  • Traditional lassi variations include substituting Greek yogurt and milk for kefir.
  • Substitute cardamom for cayenne if you prefer less heat or add other fruits like strawberries for flavor variations.
