Vegan Mango Lassi Recipe – Tastiest Tropical Creamy Lassi Ever!

The Origins Of The Mango Lassi

The mango lassi is actually a drink that originates in Asia. This sweet and refreshing beverage recipe came from the people of Punjab, in northern India. It is also, unfortunately, not actually a vegan recipe. That’s because the recipe traditionally contains cow’s milk and yogurt. This means it’s a vegetarian drink. We couldn’t believe that the original version wasn’t a vegan mango Lassi!

Caavakushi Veganized It!

Because the recipe for mango lassi is typically not made with plant-based ingredients, our team thought it was unfair that people who don’t consume dairy products could not enjoy this delightful drink. So for that reason, the Caavakushi team decided to make a veganized version to share with the world. We sure hope you like the twist we put on the Punjabi mango lassi. The team worked hard on transforming this drink with plant-based ingredients into what we called the Caavakushi Vegan Mango Lassi recipe. We can’t wait for you to try it and let us know what you think!

Pro Tips

1. If you like your vegan mango lassi a bit thicker and creamier, we suggest making a few changes. Don’t blend the lassi until it is fully smooth. Also, try adding more coconut milk and coconut yogurt. Stop and start the blender to get to the particular consistency that you would like.

2. This tip was created for those who are adventurous. If you really want to kick things up a notch, we suggest adding an extra touch. You can add a little something that will change the entire game. After you’ve garnished the drink with cardamom powder and saffron strands, add a few mixed nuts. We’re talking about adding pistachios and almonds. Now you are going to want to either have these nuts ground or chopped. Just because eating these nuts whole in your mango lassi might become a choking hazard. We promise that adding this little bit of protein to your sweet lassi will add texture and enhance the experience.

Health Benefits

Did you know there are a number of different health benefits to be gained from drinking a vegan mango lassi? Well, it might not seem like it because it’s so sweet and sugary, but we can assure you that there are great health benefits to drinking it. So let’s find out a bit more about how this drink can affect your health in a positive way.

Health Benefits Of Mangoes

These tasty fruits are beneficial to our bodies in many ways. They help to prevent cancer, boost immunity and brain health, aid in digestion, help towards maintaining a healthy pregnancy, increase healthy weight gain, lower the severity of acne, slow down the aging process, help regulate blood pressure, and help maintain a healthy heart.

Health Benefits Of Coconut Yogurt & Coconut Milk

Coming from the same plant, both coconut yogurt and coconut milk have pretty much the same health benefits. The most obvious, of course, is that they’re dairy- and lactose-free. Some of the lesser-known benefits are that it supports the immune system’s health with its antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic properties. Coconuts also provide a natural source of quick energy, promote insulin secretion, aid in digestion and absorption of nutrients, help increase good cholesterol HDL levels, help remove free radicals that cause aging as well as degenerative diseases, restore and aid thyroid function, protect the urinary system, keep the skin young and healthy, promote weight loss, and protection against the sun.

Health Benefits Of Maple Syrup

Yes, maple syrup is the perfect topping for your short stack of pancakes or your vegan mango lassi. But could it possibly be good for you too? Well, surprisingly, it actually is. It boosts the immune system, protects the cardiovascular system, aids in maintaining male reproductive health, and protects the liver from inflammation.

Health Benefits Of Agave Nectar

Agave nectar has quickly become the favourite honey substitute for vegans all over the world. Surprisingly, it is also a great substitute for sugar, as it has a low glycaemic index and does not spike blood sugar levels.

Health Benefits Of Cardamom

Adding this lime green spice to your meals can boost digestion, improve metabolism, protect the liver, protect the respiratory system, fight off colds and flu, reduce anxiety, and help ease constipation.

Health Benefits Of Saffron

Saffron can be a somewhat expensive and exotic spice, but it’s definitely worth all the hype. It helps fight against cancer, maintains eye health, boosts brain function, promotes digestion, helps promote a healthy pregnancy, treats insomnia, helps heal wounds, and has been used to treat arthritis and asthma.
