Ingredients
    For the Lassi Base:
  • 1 ½ cups plain yogurt (chilled, full-fat or Greek yogurt preferred)
  • 1 cup ripe mango cubes (from 1 large mango, peeled and diced)
  • ½ cup cold milk (adjust to desired consistency)
  • 1 ½ tsp culinary-grade matcha powder (sifted to avoid lumps)
  • 2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 4–5 ice cubes (optional, for extra chill and froth)
  • 1 pinch salt (enhances sweetness)
    • For Garnish (Optional):
  • 1 tbsp whipped cream or yogurt swirl (for presentation)
  • ¼ tsp matcha powder (for dusting)
  • Few mango cubes or mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
    Prepare the Ingredients
  1. 1
    Begin by peeling and chopping the ripe mango into small cubes. Make sure your yogurt and milk are cold for a creamy, refreshing finish. Sift the matcha powder to remove any clumps—it ensures a smooth blend and vivid color.
    2. Blend the Lassi
  2. 2
    In a high-speed blender, combine yogurt, mango cubes, milk, matcha powder, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and ice cubes. Blend for about 30–45 seconds until the mixture turns frothy, smooth, and well-combined.
    3. Adjust Sweetness and Texture
  3. 3
    Taste your lassi. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk. If it needs more sweetness, blend in a bit more honey. The consistency should be creamy but drinkable.
    4. Serve and Garnish
  4. 4
    Pour the lassi into chilled glasses. Top with a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt swirl. Dust lightly with matcha powder and garnish with mango cubes or mint leaves for a vibrant touch.
    5. Chill and Enjoy
  5. 5
    Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or chill it for 10–15 minutes before serving if you want an extra cool drink.
Note

Use Fresh Mangoes: Alphonso or Ataulfo mangoes work best for a naturally sweet, rich taste.

Vegan Option: Replace yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt, and milk with oat or coconut milk.

Adjust Matcha Strength: If new to matcha, start with 1 teaspoon and increase to taste.

Storage: Can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking if it separates.

Serving Tip: Serve chilled with light snacks or as a dessert beverage after spicy meals.
