5 Quick tips to take your Mango Lassi to the next level.
So you want to try something a bit different, eh? Well here are 5 quick things you can try to switch up the taste of your mango lassi.
- Add ½ tsp ground cardamom – this makes for a slightly more cooling experience.
- Use vanilla flavoured yogurt instead of dahi – this will take the slightly tart taste away and provide a smooth taste. transforming it more into a mango yogurt smoothie than a lassi.
- Use unsweetened almond milk instead of regular milk. Not only does this make it a touch healthier you get a relaxing drink that’s jam-packed with vitamins.
- A dash or two of cinnamon – for those that want a bit more heat, works nice at the colder times of the year. Just be careful it is easy to overpower everything if you add a little too much.
- Add a scoop of your favourite protein shake. Making it a great post-workout drink. I do this from time to time to mix it up a bit.
