It cannot get easier than this Quick and Easy Mango Lassi Recipe to beat the summer heat. Made with just mangoes, yogurt, and sugar, this drink will steal many hearts.
I was first introduced to Mango Lassi when I came to the US some 20 years back. I had no idea of how it was going to taste and was not too keen to try it either. Being a loyal Lassi fan, I did not want to try anything else.
My husband, though, was already a big fan of Mango Lassi and would only drink that when eating out at an Indian restaurant. Then came my kids, and once they tried out the Mango lassi, they fell in love with it. I remained the Loyal Lassi fan that I was.
Yogurt is a staple part of our diet, and we eat it almost every day with every meal. Drinks with yogurt are common in India during summer, and it is enjoyed in different forms as thirst quenchers. I am no different and make several different flavored drinks with it.

To get the best yogurt drink, we must begin with fresh yogurt. You could use store-bought yogurt, but I like to use my freshly made Homemade Yogurt. Making yogurt at home is very simple, and it tastes so much better than store-bought yogurt. Also, it is very economical to use homemade yogurt .
I am surprised that even though I make Mango lassi very often, it took me this long to blog about it. I chose to make 3-Ingredient recipes this week, and this 3-Ingredient Mango Lassi Recipe is a perfect fit for the theme. There are many variations of the recipe with different flavoring ingredients added to the lassi.
My boys love the plain Mango flavor in their drink, and hence I keep it that way. Summer is the best time to enjoy this chilled and flavorful 3 Ingredients Mango Lassi Recipe. One, it is the best time to get the best-tasting mangoes. I used canned mango pulp for the recipe for ease.
If you live in a region where fresh mangoes are easily available, go ahead and use them. Secondly, summer is when we want to drink chilled drinks. Yogurt works great in summer drinks. It is very healthy and loaded with probiotics for a healthy gut.

Expert Tips
Mango lassi essentially needs just the 3 ingredients: mango, yogurt, and sugar. Other ingredients are purely optional.
Use fresh yogurt for the best taste. Sour yogurt might need a little more sugar to adjust the sweetness.
I used mango pulp for ease in making the lassi. If fresh mangoes are available, remove the pulp and use them instead of the canned mango.
The use and quantity of sugar are purely based on individual preference and the sweetness of the mango.
Optional ingredients that could be used in the mango lassi recipe are cardamom, rose water, or saffron. You can try each of the flavors individually to see what works for you. My boys prefer just the pure taste of mango, and I usually don’t add any other flavoring.
Use any kind of juicy and sweet mango that is in season. I use tinned mango pulp for ease most of the time. But fresh mangoes or frozen mango chunks should work well.
Mango lassi tastes the best right after we make it. The leftover lassi can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days in an airtight bottle or jar. Make sure to stir the lassi well before serving.
Yes, we can make lassi with other fruits. I have made papaya lassi . Also, strawberry and peach lassi are quite popular. We could also make lassi as just sweet lassi and spiced lassi without any fruits.
