Mango lassi is one of my favorite Indian beverages. Mango Lassi is an easy-to-make rich, popular Indian beverage with fresh mango, yogurt and honey. It’s great for any time of the year and especially delightful during summertime.
I first tasted Mango Lassi at an Indian buffet restaurant, and since then I am hooked. I love its fruity sweet taste, creamy richness from yogurt, and the smoothness of blended mango. Mango lassi is just perfect with fiery and spice-laden Indian food.
Here is my easy mango lassi recipe that is so easy to make. All it takes is 5 minutes in a blender. I use honey instead of sugar but you can use either, or agave nectar.

ummm – this is the perfect drink for a mango lover like me. my mum used to make this all the time when we were kids! sometimes she would add a touch of cinnamon or cardamom – tasty!
Rasa Malaysia
Meeta – yes, I read about cardamom and cinnamon but have never tried one with it. Now, I am really intrigued. I will have to add a dash of them next time.

Yum, yes, I always order a lassi when I eat spicy Indian food- its really delicious! But I love the salted one, with the hint of cumin spice. I wouldn’t mind sweet lassi if it was flavored with yummy mangoes though- looks good! :)

I, too, have not had mango lassi till I come to US. The closest thing to lassi I had in Malaysia was some plain yogurt looking drink which tasted a bit sour. Since I discover mango lassi here, it becomes a must-have everytime I go to Indian or Pakistani restaurants. Of course, if you don’t eat much, I would not suggest lassi with lunch buffett :) 1 glass of lassi can easily fill you up.

Yummm! I have a huge Hayden Mango tree in my backyard and I always have yogurt and milk in the fridge. My hubby peels and cubes them for me to eat. So don’t ya think I should have him make me one of these? I do. I printed the recipe for him…LOL

Lucky you, yes, he should make you a mango lassi.

good way of making mango lassi from fresh mangos.From what I have heard and seen and tasted,the real mango lassi is made from mango powder or mango paste,I’m a malaysian who lives in Melbourne now has always been ordering mango lassi that is made from mango powder or mango paste but I like your fresh mango lassi resipe.

Your pictures are lovely. Why do you add milk to the lassi? Creamy yogurt and water should suffice no?
Also: there’s no salty mango lassi! There’s sweet lassi (e.g. mango lassi or plain cardamom-saffron lassi etc.) OR salty lassi (yogurt + salt – maybe black salt or rock salt + toasted and ground spices such as cumin and or hing and/or pinched curry leaves).

I added some milk to make my mango lassi more milky in flavor. You can do without it.

We dont have this lassi drink in Zambia. But it sounds interesting. I make juices alot from any fruit i come across. We have alot of mangoes here and most of it go to waste. Wud like to produce commercialy this Mango Lassi.
Question: Can it be preserved to increase shelf life and what can be the right packaging for it?
