I love mango lassi’s. It’s practically sacrilege for me to go to an Indian restaurant and not order a mango lassi. Mangoes are my favorite fruit and on this blog you will find lots of smoothies that include mango not to mention jams that include mango, mango crabcakes and a variety of other mango recipes.
Surprisingly, I didn’t have mango lassi. So when I was perusing Sapana’s blog for a recipe for her surprise virtual baby shower from her Blogging Marathon friends, this was the recipe selected.
Do you love mangoes as much as me? Well then check out some of these other mango recipes!

I love Sapana’s version better than the restaurant version. The restaurant version is usually richer and thicker and is quite an indulgence. Hers felt lighter that I wouldn’t feel so guilty in indulging in more often. Also I am not sure the restaurant version always includes the cardamom and saffron as I found this version more flavorful as well.
This Indian style smoothie is a great summer time treat, when mangoes are in season!
Who can resist this thick and delicious smoothie with mango? It’s definitely Mango Lassi time!
Now let’s make this delicious homemade Mango Lassi. Fresher and better than any you will get at your local Indian restaurant.
