Mango Lassi is a classic Indian yoghurt drink made with ripe mangoes, plain yoghurt, milk and a touch of caster sugar. The Thermomix TM7 blends everything into a silky, velvety smoothie in seconds. Ideal as a refreshing snack, breakfast drink or light dessert, with no chopping or mess thanks to the all-in-one bowl.
About this recipe
Mango Lassi with the Thermomix TM7 is one of the easiest and most rewarding drink recipes you can make in an all-in-one kitchen machine. Ripe mangoes are blended together with plain yoghurt, a splash of milk and a spoonful of caster sugar until the mixture turns thick, creamy and perfectly smooth, without a single fibre or lump remaining. This Indian classic is the ideal quick breakfast drink, afternoon snack or cooling companion to a spicy curry night, and it comes together faster than queuing at a smoothie bar. Because everything is blended directly in the mixing bowl, there is no separate blender to wash up, no sticky worktop and no peeling skills required beyond slicing the mango flesh from the stone. The TM7 delivers a professional, silky consistency every time, letting the natural sweetness of the mango shine while the yoghurt adds a gentle tang and a lovely cooling freshness.
Preparation tips
- Choose mangoes that yield slightly when pressed, as fully ripe fruit gives the sweetest, most fragrant lassi. If your mangoes are firm, dice the flesh and let it soften briefly before adding it to the mixing bowl with the yoghurt.
- For a thicker, milkshake-style mango lassi, use Greek-style yoghurt and reduce the milk slightly. Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a pinch of ground cardamom or a few fresh mint leaves for an authentic Indian touch.
- To make the lassi kid-friendly, freeze diced mango beforehand so the drink comes out cold and frothy without ice diluting the flavour. Leftovers keep well in a sealed bottle in the fridge and can be re-blended briefly before serving.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free mango lassi: replace the plain yoghurt and milk with lactose-free yoghurt and lactose-free or oat milk. The texture stays wonderfully creamy and the mango flavour remains the star of the drink.
- Festive mango lassi: add a pinch of saffron strands soaked in a tablespoon of warm milk, plus a little ground cardamom. Blend as usual and serve in elegant glasses topped with crushed pistachios for a celebration-worthy Indian treat.
