Cardamom is often used to add a hint of spice to mango lassi drinks. In this version, ginger tea steps in, adding spice notes while also supporting healthy digestion.
Instead of using traditional dairy yogurt, coconut milk-based yogurt adds probiotics without the digestive upset dairy can cause for sensitive individuals. Look for coconut yogurt without added sweeteners or flavors. Full-fat coconut milk marries all of the ingredients together during blending and also gives this recipe more staying power, keeping you feeling full.
Mango is a key player in this recipe – and not just in the flavor department. Mango adds a dose of vitamin-C along with polyphenols and antioxidant properties. If you can’t find frozen mango chunks, simply cube fresh mango and freeze until solid, about 3 hours. (1)
