Probiotic Mango Lassi: A 2-Ingredient Recipe!

Simple mango lassi
2-Ingredient Mango Lassi

This probiotic mango lassi is sweet, tangy, and refreshing. It is also sugar-free, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly. Best of all, it is really simple to make!

This 2-ingredient treat is usually served as dessert at our house. It’s perfect after a spicy Indian meal.

However, since it’s refined sugar-free it’s also perfect as part of breakfast or an afternoon snack. And if you have leftovers, I recommend making probiotic creamsicles.

Probiotic Options

It’s so easy to make a probiotic mango lassi. All you need to do is use a cultured and probiotic beverage for the liquid.

Cultured dairy

Here are a few options for cultured dairy options for a traditional lassi

  • Yogurt is traditional in a lassi. Since it’s quite thick, use a mix of milk and yogurt.
  • Milk kefir will add tanginess and potentially a bit of sparkle.
  • Cultured buttermilk is a creamy and delicious substitute.

Non-dairy alternatives

Really, any vegan and non-dairy yogurt will work for mango lassi. However here are my favorite alternatives. They are deliciously creamy.

  •  Cultured coconut cream is thick, rich, and delicious.
  • Almond milk yogurt or other nut milk yogurts will result in a more drinkable beverage.
  • Soy yogurt is packed with protein. Use vanilla flavored soy milk which will provide a nice compliment to this drink.

  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

  • Cuisine: Indian
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 large ripe mango, or 2 smaller mangoes (about 1 lbs worth)
  • 2 cups of cultured dairy or non-dairy alternative (see the section above for options)
  • Sugar (optional, see notes)

Instructions

  1. Peel the mangoes then cut the flesh off of the pits.
  2. Place all of the mango flesh and cultured dairy in a blender.
  3. Blend until smooth.
  4. Serve immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Notes

  • I don’t add sugar to naturally fruit-sweetened treats. But if you like your lassi sweeter then add up to 4 tsp of sugar per batch.
  • I have a regular blender, so my mango stays a bit pulpy. Using a high-quality blender will result in a smoother drink.
  • Alternatively, if you want a pulp-free lassi, then puree the mango with as little additional liquid as possible. Then push the mango pulp through a sieve discarding the fibers.

    We made this with our homemade kefir. It was a bit runnier then I’m used to, but still very tasty.
