No one could resist a glass of chilled mango lassi and that too given during a hot mid day. I grabbed a cart of sweet organic mangoes on mother's day. So, this week would be a "Mango week" in our home and you would be glad to see some yummy recipes out of my sweet mangoes.!! Well, I started with our traditional mango lassi / mango smoothie in a healthier way by adding plain greek yogurt and some honey. As the mangoes were sweeter, it tasted heavenly. This lassi would be a nice addition during any parties as it compliments the entire menu with its flavour, richness and taste. Feeling happier to blog this recipe during the Mothers Day time as this is my mom's favourite too. She always love to enjoy the mango lassi with more...sweetness by adding more secret sugar.!!! Mom, this treat is specially for you on Mothers Day.
Ingredients
Sweet Ripe Mango - 2Plain Greek Yogurt - 1/2 cup
Honey - 1 tbsp
Crushed Pistachio - 3 tsp ( To Garnish at its top )
Water - As required.
Method
- Peel the Mango skin and extract the pulp. Add the mango pulp, greek yogurt and honey to the blender.
- Grind them smoothly for 1-2 minutes. Add some water to get the consistency as desired. If you decide to have a thick mango lassi, omit the water and enjoy the thick lassi.
- If you wish to sip it little by little and enjoy the smoothie in a glass, add some water and acquire the right consistency.
- Pour the lassi over the serving glasses and garnish the lassi with crushed pistachios.
- Sweetness of the mangoes decide the sugary taste of the smoothie. So, add more honey if the mangoes are not that sweet. If you wish to add white sugar, add 11/2 tbsp of white sugar to the blender.
- You can pre-prepare the mango smoothie and pour them over the serving glasses well in advance. Cover the top of the glasses with a wrapping plastic sheet and chill them in a refrigerator. During parties, its a pure blessing to us while taking out these yummy treats in the mid of all hungama.
