Mango Lassi with an Upgrade
Lassi is a sweet Indian drink, similar to a smoothie. Traditionally lassi is made with yogurt and water, to create a liquid yogurt drink. They are often flavoured with fruits, spices, sugar to enhance the taste. Personally, I just really love the flavour of mango lassi.
Because I have an abundance of homemade milk kefir, I made a version of mango lassi with milk kefir instead of yogurt. Homemade milk kefir contains way more probiotic strains and count than yogurt, giving my mango lassi a healthy probiotic boost! Besides, milk kefir is naturally thinner than yogurt, it is a perfect replacement for both yogurt and water in the original recipe.
I also used honey in my mango lassi instead of refined sugar, to make this mango lassi the healthiest sweet treat. You really don’t need much honey at all, because mango is already sweet. If you want to avoid added sweetener, you can even skip the honey completely.
Kefir Mango Lassi Ingredients
I am keeping this recipe extremely simple with just 3 ingredients: mango, milk kefir and honey. If you want a more traditional flavour profile, add a pinch of cardamon powder, and top with chopped pistachios.
Storage
This kefir mango lassi tastes best fresh. However, you can store the leftover in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to 3 days.
