It cannot get easier than this Quick and Easy Mango Lassi Recipe to beat the summer heat. Made with just mangoes, yogurt and sugar, this drink will steal many hearts.
I was first introduced to Mango Lassi when I came to US some 20 years back. I had no idea of how it was going to taste and was not too keen to try it either. Being the loyal Lassi fan, I did not want to try anything else.
My husband though was already a big fan of Mango Lassi and would only drink that when eating out at an Indian restaurant. Then came my kids and once they tried out the Mango lassi, fell in love with it. I still remained the Loyal Lassi fan that I was.
Yogurt is a staple part of our diet and we eat it almost everyday with our every meal. Drinks with yogurt are common in India during summer and it is enjoyed in different forms as thirst quenchers. I am no different and make several different flavored drinks with it.
Check out my few flavored Yogurt drinks here -
To get the best yogurt drink, we need to begin with fresh yogurt. You could use the store bought yogurt but I like to use my Freshly made Homemade Yogurt. Making yogurt at home is very simple and it tastes so much better than the store bought ones. Also it is very economical to use homemade yogurt.
I am surprised that even though I make Mango lassi very often, it took me this long to blog about it. I chose to make 3 Ingredients recipes this week and this 3 Ingredients Mango Lassi Recipe is a perfect fit for the theme. There are many variations of the recipe with different flavoring ingredients added to the lassi.
My boys love the plain Mango flavor in their drink and hence I keep it that way. Summer is the best time to enjoy this chilled and flavorful 3 Ingredients Mango Lassi Recipe. One, it is the best time to get the best tasting mangoes. I used the canned mango pulp for the recipe for the ease.
If you live in a region where fresh mangoes are easily available, go ahead and use them. Secondly, summer is when we want to drink chilled drink. Yogurt works great in summer drinks. It is very healthy and loaded with probiotics for a healthy gut.
