High-protein mango lassi is a lighter take on the classic Indian drink—cool, creamy, and perfect as a refreshing, nourishing snack.
Lightened Up Mango Lassi
Whenever I’m at an Indian restaurant, the mango lassis call my name! This classic Indian recipe is refreshing and simple to make at home, which means I can whip one up anytime. With a combination of Greek yogurt and fresh mango, it can be enjoyed with breakfast or as an afternoon high-protein snack. Try it with my Chicken Tikka Kebabs!
Why I Love This Homemade Lassi Recipe
There’s a lot to love about mango lassis, especially this lighter version! Here’s why it’s become a favorite in my kitchen.
- Simple, Just 4 ingredients. Well, 5 ingredients if you count the ice, but you’ve got that in your freezer already!
- Easy to make. It’s hard to justify paying for a mango lassi at a restaurant when you see how easy they are to make at home! This is a good recipe for kids to make themselves too.
- Lighter, high-protein. This mango lassi recipe isn’t as heavy as the traditional version, but the flavor is exactly what you expect, with 9 grams protein per serving.

Ingredients

- 1 cup crushed ice

Notes
Variations
- Give it a protein boost. Add a scoop of plain or vanilla protein powder before blending your lassi.
- Make it dairy-free. Swap in your favorite plant milk and yogurt for a lassi without the dairy.
- Add some turmeric. I like to add a generous pinch of turmeric for a little extra color, flavor, and anti-inflammatory benefits. (It’s also a key player in my Turmeric Golden Milk Popsicles.)
- Try other spices. While turmeric is my go-to, cardamom would be wonderful in a mango lassi, as would ground cinnamon or nutmeg.
