Notes

  1. If you are using blanched almonds, skip the first two steps.
  2. Some mixer/blender jar leave chunks or pieces of almonds and mango when we grind them together (mine does). You can blend all the ingredients together if you are using a heavy duty blender/ mixer grinder.
  3. Use sweet, ripe mangoes. Frozen mango pieces or Mango puree/ pulp can also be used. Some store bought mango pulp have add in sugar. So be mindful while adding extra sugar or sweeteners while making lassi.
  4. For thin consistency, add 1/2 more cup of milk or cream or water while blending.
  5. To serve chilled Mango Lassi: Chill or freeze the mango pieces and/ or chill the milk / chill the mango lassi after blending / add ice cubes.
