Do you know what lassi is? Have you ever tried mango lassi in Indian restaurants?

It is an Indian mango drink made by combining yogurt and mango puree. It is a very popular drink. During the summer months, it is very common in Indian households. Because it helps to cool down and beat the strong heat while providing energy. 

In the US, I have never found any Indian restaurant till date that doesn’t have mango lassi on their menu. 

Beware, if you are watching your diet this creamy dreamy drink may not be healthy for you.

Usually, lassi is made by using full-fat yogurt and whole milk. Therefore, I tried to lighten it up using low-fat versions which I am going to share with you. And, this recipe for mango lassi will help you to make it at home to enjoy a guilt-free drink.
