Frequently Asked Questions

• Drop the sugar from the recipe as mangoes have their own sweetness. Also, use soy, almond milk in place of full-fat milk.

✔ Can I skip the sugar completely or any options to make it healthy?

• If the mangoes, you use are too sweet, skip the sugar completely. It can be replaced with honey, powdered jaggery, palm sugar, maple syrup, or coconut sugar.

✔ Any tips to get a thick and creamy lassi?

• Freeze the chopped mangoes for 3 to 4 hours
• Use Greek or thick yogurt and don’t add more milk or ice cubes.

✔ How to make it vegan?

• Use dairy-free yogurts like soy or coconut, regular milk with vegan milk, and sugar with maple syrup. But remember, coconut yogurt will lend a coconutty taste to the lassi.

✔ Storage Suggestions

• Serve this lassi as soon as it is made. Though it can be refrigerated for a day, the yogurt will start to change in taste and flavor.
