by What the summer best drink? A Mango Lassie! is a healthy, refreshing, and always delicious drink that you can make with frozen mango cubes, lime juice, and some simple ingredients to give it a unique flavor. It’s lower in calories than most smoothies due to the mango’s natural sweetness. And if you’re looking for something different for breakfast or a light dessert at night, Mango Lassie is worth trying.
What is Mango Lassi Made Of
Mango Lassi is a drink that originated in the Indian subcontinent. Made from mango pulp, fresh fruits, yogurt, and water or milk. There are different variations of Mango Lassie like Strawberry Mango Lassi and Banana Mango Lassi. Mango Lassi is usually made with mango pulp, sometimes it’s served cold (with ice cubes) but normally it’s warm and garnished with chopped almonds.
You can make a Mango Lassie with any kind of frozen fruit you’d like, but I prefer the texture of frozen mango cubes. The mango has such a lovely sweet tropical flavor that’s perfect for this drink. If you don’t have a blender handy, simply thaw the cubes out and use regular fresh mango.
So what is a lassie? It’s an Indian word for “milk,” which is used to add creaminess to smoothies in India, where you’ll find this drink popular. But you don’t need to make it with milk or yogurt – water will give it a nice, light taste.
If you’d like to make your Mango Lassie a little stronger of a cocktail, add in some dark rum or tequila. And if you’re serving the drink for breakfast, just cut out the liquor!
I love that this drink isn’t too sweet and comes together in so little time. It’s a great addition to any warm-weather meal. Enjoy!

I had some of my very first batch of mangoes last week. I had never tried making Mango Lassi with frozen mango cubes so I decided to give it a try. I found the best way to make this recipe is to squeeze the fruit and put it through a strainer, for puree it makes for a lighter drink. I love this drink! Made with fresh, whole fruits, and those frozen mango cube packs from the Asian grocery store, this drink gave me more mango flavor than all the fresh fruit I could have purchased at my local market.
