Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 174kcal
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups chopped mango (about 2 small) or frozen mango chunks (see notes)
- ¾ cup yogurt preferably Greek style
- ¾ cup water or unsweetened nondairy milk, or coconut water (see notes)
- 2 teaspoons ground chia seeds or 1 tablespoon whole seeds
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom optional
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric optional
- Dash of ground black pepper optional
- ¼ teaspoon amla powder optional
- 1 Medjool date soaked in hot water for 5 minutes, and pitted (optional)
Instructions
- Combine: Add the mango, yogurt, water or milk, chia seeds, cardamom, turmeric, black pepper, amla powder, and date (if using) to a blender.
- Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.
Notes
- Serves 1 to 2. Great for two snacks, or one breakfast!
- Chill your mangoes beforehand or use frozen chunks for a refreshing, cold lassi. Add ice cubes for a smoothie-like texture.
- For cutting mangoes: Either peel with a vegetable peeler, then cube. Alternatively, slice and scoop using the skin-as-bowl method.
- Use Greek-style yogurt for extra creaminess and a protein boost.
- Chia seeds: No soaking needed if blending; 1 tablespoon ground = about 1 ½ tablespoons whole. Pre-grind and store in the fridge if you prefer.
- To reduce microplastics, use a stainless steel blender (linked below). For easy cleanup, blend plain water right after use.
- Optional dates can boost sweetness—soak and pit them for smoother blending if your mango isn’t sweet enough.
- For liquid, nondairy milk adds creaminess, water keeps it lighter, and coconut water helps with hydration.
