Indian Lassi

Spiced Mango Lassi

Ground cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon give this mango lassi a more complex and traditional taste. This recipe is more in line with what you can get at a restaurant.

Banana Lassi

You don't have to use mangos to make a flavorful lassi. Recipe creator Ivy tried banana lassi at a restaurant in Udaipur, India and was so charmed, she recreated it at home. This is also a great way to use up leftover bananas without having to actually cook.

Mango Lassi-Come-Home

This mango lassi recipe gets a dose of tart sweetness from lemon-flavored yogurt. (You can also use plain yogurt and 1 to 2 tablespoons of frozen lemonade concentrate.) It tastes best cold, so serve it chilled.

Restaurant Style Mango Lassi

If you've struggled making lassi with fresh mango, use this recipe that implements mango pulp or juice. Canned mango is a little easier to work with and yields a less fibrous texture.

Serena's Strawberry Lassi

Since this lassi recipe utilizes plain yogurt, it's not as intensely sweet as other lassis. Check your strawberries beforehand to accurately gauge their sweetness. From there, you can add or reduce sugar as needed.

Easy Mango Lassi

The hardest part of this mango lassi recipe is waiting an hour for it to chill in the refrigerator. This recipe works best with smaller, sweeter mangoes, such as Alphonso or Ataulfo — you can distinguish them by their orange and yellow color.

Mango-Mint Lassi with Indian Sweet Spices

Freshly-ground spices and mint leaves give this mango lassi an edge: Think a more complex flavor that really lets the fruit sing. It's so delightfully refreshing you may just want to drink it all summer long.
