Mango Lassi

24 comments /
Sometimes it's the simple things.  You know what I'm talking about...
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens.
Brown paper packages tied up with strings.

 or perhaps...
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels.
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles.
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings.

might I add...
Sun on my shoulders and wind in the willows.
The echo of laughter and sweet faces on pillows.
The sweet mellow sound when Dave Matthews sings.

or maybe...
Mangoes and yogurt puréed into lassies.
Going incognito behind my dark sunglassies.
Adding new lyrics to already popular things.

Mango Lassi
slightly adapted from Happy Days with the Naked Chef
serves 4 (<---- that's debatable)

1 c. plain greek yogurt
~1/2 c. milk + more as needed
7 oz. fresh mango, pitted & sliced (~1 mango)
4 tsp. sugar, to taste

Put everything into a blender and blend until smooth.  Pour into glasses and serve.  You can refrigerate this lassi for up to 24 hours.

*forgive me Rodgers and Hammerstein...and Sound of Music lovers everywhere....

    I've never tried this before but my daughter gets these all the time at one of our local Indian take-out restaurants. I should make this for her - it's so easy!

    Mmmm! That looks delicious. Mangoes are my favorite fruit! I use them in my smoothies at every opportunity. I didn't know that I was making a "lassi". I'm not calling them smoothies any more. :)

    Hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend!

    This post made me so undeniably happy between the mango lassis and the song. Love this! (though I might not love it after having the sound of music stuck in my head all day)

    Love them...they are great with fresh mangoes, but if you can find them try them with canned Alphonso mangoes...that's the way a lot of restaurants make them.

    I may be the only person in the world who doesn't enjoy mango.
    But I did very much enjoy your song! Especially the sunglassies part.

    Did you ever see a lassi(e), a lassi(e), a lassi(e). Did you ever see a lassi go this way and that:)

    It's just amazing how refreshing a lassi can be on a scorching hot day. I'm not a huge fan of Mango but something tells me I really should give it a whirl again.

    Thanks for sharing, Heather.

    P.S. Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. It meant so much:)

    You know what I love to do? Pour that concoction into popsicle molds. Nothing better on a hot day.

    I've never made this from scratch before. I usually buy the mango pulp in a giant can. I imagine that's the equivalent of making pumpkin pie from a can :-)

    If you get a sweet mango, you don't need to add sugar.
