While mango is energizing, yogurt is calming and strengthening, making a mango lassi an excellent choice for the overworked and overwhelmed.

Serves: 1

Prep time: 5 min

Purée mango flesh with yogurt, water, and remaining ingredients. Garnish with fresh mint and serve chilled. You can also add a dash of cayenne pepper for a spicy twist.

Let’s face it, who doesn’t feel overworked and overwhelmed sometimes? Yogurt imparts a bit of heaviness, giving mango lassi a hearty feel that will satisfy your stomach. The smooth heaviness of this drink soothes your nerves.

Although dairy coupled with fruit is technically incompatible, our opinion is that all rules are meant to be broken once in a while. If you find yourself bloated or uncomfortable after a mango lassi, this may be a combination for you to avoid. Simply pay attention to how it makes you feel. Each food combining guideline will create different reactions in different bodies. Your body will tell you which rules can be relaxed, and which rules demand more discipline.

Both honey and mint help with digestion, so a little remedy is within this recipe, helping you to completely enjoy your mango lassi!
