Mango Lassi

My daughter is a mango fiend. She begs me to buy them every time we go to the grocery store. 2I even bought her a mango slicer, one of the few unitaskers I keep in my kitchen.

Mango Lassi is her favorite drink - she starts lobbying for it every Sunday morning, when it’s time to make our breakfast smoothie. Even better, she wants to make it herself; smoothies are a great way to get kids into cooking. If my kids are any indication, if a recipe lets them blitz everything in the blender, they're all for it.

I was dubious about paying for a Vitamix. Now I can’t imagine Sunday breakfast without it. I can focus on scrambled eggs without worrying about “Dad, the blender is stuck” interruptions.

Description

Mango lassi - a refreshing mango smoothie from the blender.

---

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 16 ounces frozen mango
• 1 (5-ounce) container plain Greek yogurt
• 1 (15 oz) can coconut milk
• ¼ cup honey

---

Instructions

1. Blend it all: Put everything in the blender, start on low, and slowly increase the speed to the highest setting. (On my Vitamix, I slowly twist the knob from Variable 1 to Variable 10.) Blend on high until everything is smooth and frothy, about 2 minutes. Serve.

Notes

• Want to use fresh mango? Peel and seed 4 mangoes, then dice. Add 2 cups of ice to the smoothie, and cut the coconut milk back to 8 ounces (1 cup).
• Don’t have a Vitamix? You can use a regular blender, but you may need to stop the blender and break up the frozen fruit if it all jams into a solid mass. Once a good vortex gets going in the blender, you’ll be fine. Give it a couple of extra minutes to get frothy if needed.

Tools

• Blender (I use a powerful Vitamix)

• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Category: Appetizers and Drinks
• Method: Blender
• Cuisine: Indian

Notes

• Don’t have a Vitamix? Of course you can use a regular blender. You may need to stop the blender and break up the frozen fruit if it all jams into a solid mass, but once a good vortex gets going in the blender, you’ll be fine. Give it a couple of extra minutes to get frothy if needed.
