Tropical Mango Blubery Lassi
Ingredients
- 1 cup ripe mango diced (fresh is best, but frozen works too!)
- 1 cup blueberries frozen or fresh
- 2 cups yogurt plain or vanilla – whatever you fancy!
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup to sweeten it to your liking!
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom for that exotic kick!
- 1 cup ice cubes optional, if you like it chilled
- Water or milk to adjust the consistency – if needed!
- Substitutions:
- For yogurt use dairy-free options like coconut or almond milk yogurt.
- Replace honey with agave syrup or omit it for a sugar-free version.
- You can leave out cardamom if you’d rather keep it simple.
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: Make sure your mango is ripe and sweet. If you’re using frozen fruits, no need to thaw them!
- Blend it up: Toss the mango, blueberries, yogurt, honey, and cardamom into a blender. If you're adding ice, throw that in too!
- Blend it smooth: Start blending on low speed and gradually increase until everything is creamy and well-blended. You’re looking for a luscious texture here!
- Consistency check: If you like a thinner lassi, slowly add a splash of water or milk until you get that dream consistency.
- Give it a taste: Sweet enough? Adjust it with a bit more honey if you like it sweeter!
- Pour and serve: Grab your cutest glasses, pour in that pretty blend, and get ready to sip paradise!
