This mango lassi inspired drink is absolutely delightful – smooth, creamy, sweet, with a hint of tartness. Guaranteed to make you happy.
Silky, ripe mangoes and a combination of creamy milk (please use vegan milk) are the keys to getting the decadent texture of this drink just right. You can use any non-dairy milk in this recipe, or you can use raw cashews to make it into a delicious vegan mango lassi sensation.
Mango is actually a good substitute for bananas in smoothies. It’s just as sweet and creamy and many people actually much prefer the taste of it to bananas.
