Mango Lassi
This is utterly gorgeous and refreshing. We make it with vegan yoghurt but it can also be made with a plant milk such as coconut, hemp, almond or soya.
If you love mangoes but find them a bit hit and miss in the UK, the good news is that you can buy fresh or frozen chunks (or even tinned purée) from many supermarkets.
Ingredients:
- 2 whole ripe mangoes OR 2 cups mango chunks, frozen or fresh OR 1 tin or 1½ cups unsweetened purée
- 2 cups vegan yoghurt, eg Alpro, Tesco, Sojade - or try a coconut milk based vegan yoghurt, eg CoYo or Coconut Collaborative
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom
Optional extras
- Splash of tinned coconut milk (ie the thick stuff)
- Ice cubes
- A splash of lime juice
Method:
1. If using the fresh mango option, peel each mango, slice off the fruit roughly with a sharp knife and add it to the blender. Otherwise add the frozen chunks or tinned purée. Blend with the vegan yoghurt and cardamom.
2. Taste. Add more cardamom if desired plus the lime juice/coconut milk/ice cubes if using (you won't need ice if using the frozen mango!)
3. Eat immediately.
