Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I like this Frozen Mango Lassi because it hits that perfect balance between healthy and treat-like. It’s a one-blender wonder—no need to turn on the stove or make a mess. I’ve made it on rushed mornings, during heat waves, and even when unexpected guests dropped by. Kids ask for seconds, and adults often want to know the recipe. I can easily tweak the flavor with spices, extra fruit, or dairy-free swaps. It’s versatile, fast, and downright delightful.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

frozen mango chunks
plain yogurt
milk (dairy or plant-based)
honey or sugar
ground cardamom
vanilla extract (optional)
ice cubes (optional)

Directions

I start by adding 2 cups of frozen mango chunks into my blender.
Then I pour in 1 cup of plain yogurt and ½ cup of milk to help everything blend smoothly.
I follow up with 2 tablespoons of honey or sugar for sweetness and ½ teaspoon of ground cardamom for that exotic aroma.
If I’m in the mood, I add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract for a subtle flavor boost.
I blend it all on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, I add a little more milk.
After a quick taste, I adjust the sweetness as needed.
For an even frostier sip, I toss in a few ice cubes and give it another quick blend.
I pour the lassi into glasses and serve it immediately, sometimes with a mint leaf on top.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves 4 people and takes about 10 minutes from start to finish. Each serving has approximately 180 calories. It’s the perfect quick beverage for hot days or spontaneous gatherings.

Variations

When I want to switch things up, I sometimes:

Swap the yogurt for coconut yogurt to go dairy-free.
Use almond or oat milk instead of dairy milk.
Add a handful of frozen berries for a mixed-fruit twist.
Sprinkle in cinnamon or fresh ginger instead of cardamom.
Freeze the leftovers into popsicle molds for frozen mango lassi pops.

Storage/Reheating

I usually store any leftover lassi in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to 2 days. The texture may separate a bit, but a quick stir or re-blend brings it back to life. For longer storage, I freeze portions in jars or ice cube trays—perfect for future smoothies. I avoid reheating since it’s meant to be served cold.

FAQs

Can I use canned mango?

Yes, I can use canned mango, but I always freeze the chunks before blending. It still gives a delicious drink, though the flavor might be slightly milder than fresh or frozen ripe mango.

How long will leftovers last?

Leftover mango lassi lasts up to 2 days in the fridge in a sealed container. For freezer storage, it keeps well for about 2 weeks. I just thaw it in the fridge or re-blend before drinking.

Can I make it dairy free?

Definitely. I replace the yogurt with a non-dairy alternative like almond or coconut milk yogurt and use plant-based milk like oat or soy. The texture is still creamy and the flavor stays vibrant.

Why is my lassi runny?

If mine comes out too thin, I may have added too much milk or over-blended. I fix this by adding more frozen mango or yogurt cubes and blending briefly to thicken it back up.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, I sometimes blend it a few hours in advance and store it in the fridge. I give it a quick shake or stir before serving. For longer prep, I freeze the ingredients and blend just before serving for the freshest texture.

Conclusion

This Frozen Mango Lassi has become one of my favorite summer staples. I love how easy it is to make and how customizable it can be. Whether I’m craving something sweet, need to cool off, or want to impress guests with a tropical drink, this lassi always comes through. Keep frozen mango and yogurt ready, and it’s never more than a few minutes away.
