I think I’ve shared my slight obsession with Indian food with you all, but instead of chicken curry or dal, today I’ve got a recipe for mango lassi, the popular Indian smoothie.
The typical mango lassi recipes often contain added sugar, along with the store versions I’ve seen, which just doesn’t sit well with me. It’s not that I am anti-sugar, but I’d rather have sugar in the form of cookies, ice cream, etc. – NOT in a smoothie. Fruit is enough sweetness in smoothies for me!
This drink is perfect for breakfast or a snack in the warmer months and very filling due to the protein in the greek yogurt (20 grams!). I used 2% greek yogurt because I think it is so much more creamy than 0% and I love a little fat at all my meals. 🙂

Riddle me this: if I love Indian food, and I love smoothies…how have I never had mango lassi? I love how easy you made the recipe – sounds like something I’ll be making for breakfast this week!
Emily
You better change that Faith! 🙂

i love a good lassi! have you been to ghandi mahala? we went there a few weeks ago and the food and service were awesome. i got a rose lassi which was surprisingly refreshing.
Emily
No, but it sounds like I should add it to the restaurant list! Rose lassi sounds very interesting – made with rose water?

I have never had this smoothie before but that is about to change!

Yum! My kids and I love mango lassi. The last time I made it, I added some cardamom powder and cashew nuts which added a nice taste. Enjoy!
Emily
I thought about sprinkling a little spice on top – I’ll definitely do that next time! Thanks for the tip!

I love mango in smoothies and this looks fantastic because it’s the front running flavor…yum! What a perfect summer breakfast 🙂

This sounds so refreshing — I wonder what I could sub for the yogurt though — I’m not a fan of soy yogurt, maybe blended tofu?
Emily
Yes, the tofu could replace the protein/creamy factor. I hear you on the non-dairy yogurt, I’ve never been a fan. 🙁

wow this looks SO good!! 🙂
Kathleen @ KatsHealthCorner
YUMMY!!! I so want to try this once I get my hands on some soy yogurt! My grocery store stopped carrying the plain, so the only ones they have have added sugar. But I’ll find a way!

Rachel @ The Avid Appetite
This sounds like it would be a perfect morning smoothie! I will add it to my repetoire 🙂

What a good idea! It’s a shame we only order these when we go out for Indian food. It’s so easy to make them at home.
Made these as a mid-day snack to break up some tough landscaping work me and my husband where trying to knock out this weekend. So refreshing!
