Mango Lassi is a classic Indian drink classically made with a blend of yogurt, water, spices, and pureed mango. Lassi is therefore very similar to buttermilk in the way it’s made, it’s not just a mango milkshake.

Ingredients and Substitutions
All you need are:
Fresh Mango – Choose a ripe mango that is soft to the touch to guarantee a vibrant orange color with a super-sweet flavor. In fact, hard mangoes are often green in the center and make lassi recipes bitter. Plant-Based Milk – The classic Lassi recipe uses full-fat milk. To make it creamy and dairy-free, we used coconut milk. Coconut and mango go perfectly together but oat milk or soy milk are good alternatives to coconut. Plant-Based Yogurt – The Indian classic mango lassi uses full-fat Greek yogurt, but we used coconut yogurt. Coconut yogurt is naturally full of probiotics and unsweetened for a healthy twist to the classic recipe.
Optional Add-Ons
