High Protein Mango Lassi is the lighter flavor of a classic Indian drink – cool, creamy and perfect, a refreshing and nourishing snack.
Reduce Mango Lassi
Whenever I’m in an Indian restaurant, Mango Rases calls me by my name! This classic Indian recipe is refreshing and easy to make at home, meaning I can whip one at any time. Combined with Greek yogurt and fresh mangoes, enjoy it with breakfast or afternoon high-protein snacks. Try it with my chicken kebab!
Why I Love This Homemade Lassi Recipe
There are so many people to love about the Mango Lassis, especially this lighter version! That’s why it became a favorite in my kitchen.
- Simple, only 4 ingredients. OK, if you forget ice, there are 5 ingredients, but you already got it in the fridge!
- Easy to make. When you see how easy it is to make them at home, it’s hard to justify paying for a mango lassi in a restaurant! This is a good secret that kids can also make themselves do.
- Lighter, high protein. This mango lassi recipe isn’t as heavy as the traditional version, but the flavor is exactly what you’d expect, 9 grams of protein per serving.

change
- Give it a protein boost. Add a spoonful of plain or vanilla protein powder before mixing lascia.
- Make it dry-free. Swap your favorite plant milk and yogurt for Lassi without dairy.
- Add some turmeric. I like to add a small pinch of turmeric to get some extra color, flavor and anti-inflammatory effects. (This is also a key player in my turmeric golden milk popsicle.)
- Try other spices. While turmeric is my go-to, cardamom will be great in mango lassi and cinnamon or nutmeg will be great too.

What you need
Here are some notes that can help you choose the ingredients for this mango Lassi recipe. Scroll to the recipe card to find the ingredient quantity and recipe instructions.
- mango – I like Champagne Mangos (also known as Ataulfo Mangos) because they are sweeter and less fiber than other common varieties. I exchange frozen mango chunks when the mango is not in season or looks good at the grocery store.
- Greek Yogurt – I use regular Greek yogurt that doesn’t contain fat, but if you prefer to reduce fat or even whole milk, that’s great too. Remember, nutrition will vary.
- milk – Fat-free (skimmed) milk is my choice for this recipe, but you can use anything you can carry around.
- Sweetener – Usually I use sugar or honeybut you can certainly make it with stevia, monk fruit, agave nectar or sweetener of your choice.
- Ice press – If your refrigerator does not have crushed ice, you can chop some of the cubes in the blender before adding the rest of the ingredients.

India’s favorite lighter version
Although many people like to drink mango lassi while eating Indian food, I think it is more of a dessert or something to enjoy on your own! However, if you want to eat Lassi with other Indian dishes, here are some recipes.
Store leftovers
- refrigerator: Like smoothies, mango lassi is best served immediately, but if you do have some leftovers, you can cover the lassi in a glass or sealed container for up to a day. Stir well before serving.
- refrigerator: A better way to store leftovers is to freeze. I like to pour lassi into popsicle molds for frozen snacks, but you can also secure leftovers in an airtight container or freezer bag and melt in the refrigerator before serving. I let it thaw enough so it can absorb, but still a little tone.
