Notes
Helpful Tips:
-
- Use ripe Mangoes: Use sweet, ripe mangoes. Otherwise, this mango milkshake might turn out bland and lack the fruit's natural sweetness.
-
- Consistency: Plant-based yogurt might make the consistency a tad thicker than regular (fermented) yogurt. If the mixture is too thick, you can add more of your favorite plant-based milk until you reach your desired consistency.
-
- Blending the ingredients: Always blend until smooth to get that creamy texture.
-
- For a chilled mango lassi: Refrigerate ripened mangoes the day before, or throw a few frozen mango cubes (frozen fruit) into the blender to get that instant chilled effect. You can drop a few more into the serving glass to use as ice cubes. It also helps to serve in chilled glasses.
-
- Storage: Store leftover mango lassi in the fridge for up to three days. It won't necessarily go bad after that, but it won't taste as fresh. Make sure to store it in a covered glass. Give it a good stir before enjoying it again.
