Kefir Mango Lassi | Quick & Easy

This deliciously smooth Kefir Lassi is flavoured with sweet mango pulp to create a summer drink that is delicious and refreshing. This super easy 2-ingredient lassi is so quick to make and is easily buildable to suit your taste.

A few years back, kefir was trending in the media and becoming the next big thing. I'm easily influenced so bought a bottle of kefir from the supermarket.

I had high hopes as I took my first gulp .. and ..

Well actually, it wasn't bad. Kefir is actually pretty creamy drink as it is, I just found it a little bit too sour.

My brother, who was a lot younger at the time, wasn't so keen so the way to get him to drink it was by mixing it with something sweet. It was spring-summer so naturally we had plenty of mangoes!

I made a quick mango pulp and mixed it in with the kefir and completely transformed the kefir! The lassi is super creamy from the kefir but now cuts through the sourness and has a bit of sweetness from the mango.

Ingredients

Kefir Milk - it's easily available in British supermarkets and Eastern European groceries. I recommend getting the plain one so that the flavours don't interfere. To make it vegan, there are now some non-dairy kefir products such as coconut kefir or soy kefir.

Mango Pulp - tinned/canned or use homemade mango pulp. I've also tried mango juice but it thins out the lassi considerably. Tinned mango pulp has added sugar so you will not need any extra.

Mango Pulp is easily available in British supermarkets (usually in the world food section) but if you cannot get hold of any, you can still make this lassi. Learn how to make easy and smooth mango pulp from fresh mango at home just in 5 minutes.

Use frozen or fresh mango chunks/pieces and blitz smooth with the kefir milk. Add either light and mild honey or sugar to sweeten if you desire.

Variations

Add one or two threads of saffron and a little cardamom powder
