My take on a traditional Indian Lassi, this Healthy Mango Lassi is both nourishing and delicious. Check out the variations to make it into a chia pudding or ice-blocks.

Ingredients

2 mango/s -peeled and flesh removed (see note below for using frozen mango)
250 g natural, Greek or coconut yoghurt (1 cup)
½ tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp ground cardamom
1 cup/s ice
1 tbsp rose water (optional)

Instructions

In a powerful blender or food processor, puree the mango, yoghurt and spices until smooth.
Add the ice and puree again until it is crushed.
Serve immediately. You can also freeze into popsicle moulds for a delicious ice-block.

Note

You can sub the mango with frozen mango cheeks and omit the ice but also add ½ cup of water.

Serve

With chopped cashews or pistachios.

Store

Leftovers can be frozen into little cups or ice-block moulds for a fast, healthy snack another day.

Notes

Dairy-free and vegan

Sub the yoghurt for coconut yoghurt or cashew nut cream.

Chia pudding

Add ¼ cup of chia and allow to soak to make this into a delicious chia Indian style pudding.

It's not mango season

Replace the mango with 2 cups of fresh strawberries.

Ice-block

This is divine frozen into ice-block moulds for an icy treat.
