Good day my friends! The holiday has passed, hope you all had a safe and peaceful time with friends and family!
We took a wonderful bike ride this morning. I’ll be heading back to my youngest daughter’s home this Sunday to help with the new baby. I’ll be sure to share while I’m there! But until Sunday, I plan to enjoy my kitchen and the homestead as much as possible!
I know Holidays are typically a time when we over-indulge and don't always make the best food choices. Well, today is a new day and I thought today I would share a refreshing healthy drink for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack!
How about a Mango Lassi?
Did you know the Lassi is a popular traditional yogurt drink which originated in India.
Traditional Lassi is made with yogurt, water and salt. The sweet Lassi is made with sugar and/or fruit juices. The drink I will make today is a Mango Lassi, made with pulp from the mango fruit
Not only does the Mango Lassi include a very healthy fruit, it also includes a very healthy spice!

The Mango Lassi is made with the spice Cardamom. Cardamom is a very old spice used both for flavoring in foods, desserts and teas. It is also used medicinally!
Cardamom! Considered a Queen! Are you familiar with this queen? One of the three most expensive spices (behind vanilla bean and saffron), is an spice which also originated in India.
Cardamom is also rich in niacin, riboflavin, Vitamin A and C, potassium, copper, and iron. Said to help control hypertension, prevent cancer, and combat depression. Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine both incorporate the extract from cardamom when treating many gastrointestinal issues from flatulence to stomach cramping. The oils from cardamom are believed to contain antimicrobial properties which help combat infection.
Quite an incredible spice! Let’s make this Mango Lassi!
I used!
1 Mango
1 teaspoon Juice from fresh Lemon
1 cup Coconut yogurt
1 cup Almond Milk
1/2 teaspoon Cardamom
Ice cubes
Peel and chop Mango. Isn’t it beautiful?
- Place all but ice in blender and blend until smooth! Add ice and blend again.
Pour and Serve! Take a load off, whether you’ve been working on the homestead, at the office or working out, you will love this refreshing healthy drink!
Just think of it as another liquid dose of Sunshine!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I would love to hear your favorite Lassi recipe!
And as always, blessings to all
