Easy Mango Lassi with Passionfruit and Coconut
A refreshing fruity lassi is perfect to gulp down first thing in the morning for a filling breakfast, as an afternoon pick-me-up or devoured with a spoon as a light dessert. During creation of our Mango Passion Fruit Melting Moments, the idea of making a lassi combining these flavours came to mind. Adding some coconut flavours just seemed to make sense to take the flavour of this lassi to the stratosphere! Tangy passion fruit pairs well with sweet mango and the coconut makes the lassi so rich and creamy. This lassi is EVERYTHING that you would want from a lassi. It is: Love mango and passion fruit combination? Try our Chocolate, Passion fruit Semolina Cake, it it is eggless too!
Ingredients for Tropical Mango Lassi
Mango – We need chunks of mango for this recipe. Use fresh mango where possible but you can also use frozen. In the months of April/May until June, you can find Indian mangoes in some supermarkets and most Asian grocery stores. Indian mango have an unsurpassed taste and if you can, it is worth sourcing these although you can do without for this recipe. You can also use tinned mango pulp if you cannot find fresh mango. This is usually sweetened so you may not need extra sugar. Passionfruit – Mango’s best friend in this recipe. Buy fresh passion fruit and scoop out the beautiful flesh. Coconut Yogurt – you can use either full-fat or low-fat coconut flavoured yogurt. Many coconut yogurts are now dairy-free and you can use that also. If you cannot find coconut yogurt, use plain yogurt and add coconut milk instead. Sugar – if your mango is not sweet enough, add some white granulated sugar. Alternatively, use agave syrup, maple syrup or honey. You could also add 1 banana to sweeten. Milk or water – add either milk (can be dairy or non-dairy) or chilled water to make the lassi less thick. Optional – saffron
Vegan Mango Coconut Lassi
This lassi is super simple to make vegan and just requires some direct switches. The lassi will remain as delicious as the dairy one.

Serving Suggestion
Mango Coconut and Passionfruit Lassi is wonderful on its own as a refreshing and cooling drink. However, it can also hold its own alongside a whole host of delicious food. Whether it is a deep-fried snack such as Maru style Crispy Potato Bhajiya or 3 layer Bread Pakora, the combo of lassi and piping hot pakora can’t be beaten. It also goes wonderfully with Paneer Tikka Masala or spicy Restaurant Style Dum Aloo. It is the perfect drink for when:
you have bought too many mangoes (usually me) you’re hosting a summer BBQ preparing summertime breakfasts you need a cooler on scorching days you want to serve non-alcoholic drinks at a summer pool party
