Ingredients used to make this chilled lassi
Ripe mango – You can use any ripe mango to make this lassi. Better to use sweet variety lassi.
Curd or yogurt – Used homemade curd to make this lassi. You can also use store bought curd or Greek yogurt. But curd shouldn’t be sour. Check before using.
Fresh coconut – Grated fresh coconut taste great with ripe mango.
Mint leaves – Mint leaves used for a refreshing flavour.
Chia seeds – Used chia seeds for it’s nutritional value. You can skip if you don’t have or you don’t like.
Chia seeds may be small, but they’re incredibly rich in nutrients. A staple in the ancient Aztec and Maya diets, these seeds have been touted for their health benefits for centuries. The antioxidants, minerals, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids in chia seeds may promote heart health, support strong bones, and improve blood sugar management. Healthline
Milk – Used milk to soak the chia seeds. You can also use any dairy free milk or water if you want.
Coconut sugar – Used coconut sugar as a sweetener. Coconut sugar or coconut palm sugar is a plant based natural sweetener. You can also use honey, maple syrup, stevia, sugar or any sweetener of your choice. If your mango is less sweet then add more sweetener. And if your mango is too sweet use small amount of sweetener.
Lemon juice – Lemon juice used for a refreshing flavour and taste.
Lemon zest – Little lemon zest used to give an extra zing. It will give a strong lemon flavour. You can skip it if you want.
Ice cubes – Ice cubes used to make the lassi chilled. Add less or more according to your choice. You can also add some ice cubes in the glass before serving. Or you can also skip the ice cubes and keep lassi in refrigerator for an hour to serve chilled.
