Traditionally, lassi is made in clay pots and blended manually with a wooden hand food masher by rotation and mixing the drink. With the invent of blenders making lassi has become easy. Originally, lassi was only made from plain yogurt, sugar and water and ice and topped with cream. Over the years, a lot of variation has taken over and one of them is vegan mango lassi.

Ingredients for Vegan Mango Lassi recipe

Fresh and frozen mangoes
Vegan yogurt (almond milk or coconut milk based)
Almond milk or tetra pack coconut milk
Cardamom
Maple syrup
Pistachio
Saffron

I used all these easy ingredients which mostly every household have. These are easily available in any store it’s a no fuss healthy mango lassi recipe.

Ingredients notes:

Mangoes – I used fresh and frozen both to thicken this lassi and make it richer and creamier.

Vegan yogurt – even though any yogurt is fine here my favorite is coconut milk-based yogurt because it makes this beverage creamier.

Dairy free milk – this makes this Indian yogurt smoothie creamier and richer and so I love to add milk in here.

Cardamom – you may use store bought ground cardamom or simply crush 3-4 green cardamom and remove the skin.

Sweetener – I prefer maple syrup for this recipe because it brings a nice caramelized flavor here. But white sugar also works fine for this lassi.
