Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango you can also use frozen mango – about 1 cup

- 2 tablespoons sugar or honey for a natural sweetener, adjust as needed
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom optional but highly recommended for flavor

Instructions
- Peel and chop the mango: Slice your mango cleanly. If you’re using frozen mango, just toss it in the blender as it is!
- Add the yogurt: Put in the yogurt on top of the mango pieces in your blender.
- Pour in the milk: This will give our lassi that creamy, smooth consistency we love.
- Add sweetness: Sprinkle in the sugar (or honey), and the ground cardamom if you're using it. Remember to taste as you go!
- Add some ice: Toss in a handful of ice cubes for an extra refreshing kick.
- Blend it up: On to the blender! Blend until everything is smooth and creamy, around 30-45 seconds.
- Taste Test: Give it a quick taste; adjust sweetness or add a little more milk if it’s too thick.
- Serve: Pour into tall glasses, and don't forget to sip on it with a big smile!
