Mango Lassi

A traditional lassi is a yogurt-based drink that has been enjoyed in India for centuries, especially during warmer months. The word lassi comes from the Punjabi language and simply refers to a blended yogurt drink. Over time, it has become one of India's most popular beverages, with many regional variations enjoyed across the country.

This simple mango version keeps the flavors kids love while adding protein and probiotics from Greek yogurt.

It's refreshing, naturally sweet, and works well as an afternoon snack or alongside a meal.

Ingredients

● 1 cup frozen mango chunks
● ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
● ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
● ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
● Pinch of cinnamon or cardamom (optional)
● Ice, if desired

Steps

1. Add all ingredients to a blender.

2. Blend until smooth and creamy.

3. Add ice if you'd like a colder, thicker texture.

4. Serve immediately.

Why It Works

Greek yogurt provides protein and probiotics, while mango adds natural sweetness and nutrients without relying on added sugar. It's filling, refreshing, and a great alternative to sugary drinks.
