The other day, D brought back Indian food from Taj Mahal, our favorite Indian restaurant in Fort Collins. The last time we hit up the local Indian restaurant here in Laramie, D and I both got a mango smoothie (mango lassi) with our meal. It was quite refreshing and tasty. So, I decided to see if I could re-create the smoothie concoction here at home. It appears that to make an authentic lassi, you need mango pulp -- I had to make due with mango nectar, which I happened to have on hand. I think the resulting smoothie was pretty spot on with what we had tasted before, though of course fresh fruit would always trump bottled juice.
Mango lassi
makes 2+ servings
1 cup organic vanilla yogurt
2 cups mango nectar
1/2 cup organic skim milk
1. Blend together all three ingredients. Pour into glasses (I was feeling fancy so poured myself one in a martini glass; D got his in a pint glass) and serve immediately.
