HEALTHY RECIPES: Mango Lassi

mango.jpg
 
A "lassi" is a beverage that's found in India using cow, sheep or goat's milk yogurt, a food staple for more than 4,000 years. Mangos can be difficult to cut so ask for help. A mango is ripe when its slightly soft when you press into the skin.
 
The Indian version asks for rose water, a Middle Eastern ingredient, but since it's difficult to find I used almond extract. Try the lassi without the almond extract first; maybe you won't want to add it.
 
What You'll Need: Serves 2
1 ripe mango
1 cup plain yogurt (non-fat, low-fat, or whole milk)
1 cup cold water
1 tablespoon sugar
4 ice cubes

You decide: a drop or 2 of almond extract
 
What You'll Do: 
1. The safest way to cut a mango is to slice off thick slices, getting as close to the pit as possible. Then peel off the skin using a paring knife. Cut the mango into chunks.

2. Put all the ingredients in the blender. It’s always a good idea to place one hand on the blender top to hold it down, then press start. Starting the blender at low speed, blend the lassi until smooth. Pour into tall glasses.

 
Tools:

Blender
Paring knife
Measuring cups and spoons

IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CREAMY AND GOOOD!!!

by istylista on 6/23/2010 9:57:47 PM

 
 

See I'm indian and we don't put that many ingredients. Mango Lassi is sour and Mango shake is sweet which I prefer.

Lassi is made with:
Mango/mango pulp
yogurt
sugar
and ice cubes are optional(they add a chill)

Shake is made with:
Mango/Mango pulp(pulp is better)
milk
sugar
ice cubes are optional.

So you don't need almond extract and we never use water!But that's how you get your mango drinks. Hope that helps c:

MMM! the mango lassi looks good!

by lilycae on 5/21/2010 7:47:46 PM

 
 

This is SO good! It tastes more like bananas, but I can taste a hint of mango at the end. It turns a pale yellow color. This is great for mango haters or banana lovers! I <3 it!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD Is it Ok if I use vanilla extract instead of almond? Also, can I use a papaya?

 

Hey girl!  I'm sure switching the papaya for mango would be just fine.  As for the vanilla... I am not sure, since I haven't made it myself.  I would suggest trying it with just a drop or two, and seeing how it goes!

MOD!!MOD!!!!MODDD! My mom went to a dinner party and was supposed to come back an hour and a half ago!!! Im really starting to freak out, i have called her on her cell like ten times! Im scared that something has happened to her! What should i do??

 

Hey girly, don't worry. She's probably just having so much fun that she forgot she was supposed to be in the house. Give it a couple minutes, and call her back. I'm sure she's fine though. Smile

I love this! I love making mango smoothies! I use plain yogurt, milk, ice, and sweetened mango puree. Just use common sense to measure the proportions (not too much milk, a lot of ice) and blend until smooth and creamy. Smile

by starr on 4/4/2010 12:23:12 AM

 
 

I don't think mango lassis usually look that orange, but it sounds really good! I've had them before at restuarants, and they are fantastic!

that is NOT what a mango lassi should look like. however, they are so good. best to use milk yogurt ice and a can of mango pulp. that's all you really need.

by sharbear on 7/18/2009 9:25:38 AM

 
 

I have had a mango lassi in India, and it is sooooooooooo good! Seriously, you guys have to try it!

GiGi- your smoothie sounds delish, but maybe subsitute yogurt for ice cream, and much more healthier.

Oh yeah, and go Giants!

I would check Sprouts or a health food store. I think that you can find them in normal grocery stores if they're in season. Smile
