Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (preferably Ataulfo or Alphonso)
- 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan option)
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk (whole milk or almond milk)
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste; agave for vegan)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 4–5 ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and chop about 2 medium ripe mangoes into chunks (roughly 2 cups / 300 grams).
- Place the mango chunks in a blender. Add 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt and ½ cup (120 ml) milk. Blend on high for about 1 minute until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to adjust consistency.
- Add 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom, and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice. Blend again for 10-15 seconds to combine.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or lemon juice if desired. For a chilled drink, add 4-5 ice cubes and pulse a few times until crushed.
- Pour into tall glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of cardamom or a small mango slice if desired.
Notes
Use ripe but not overripe mangoes for best flavor. Frozen mango chunks can be used if thawed slightly before blending. Avoid over-blending yogurt to maintain creaminess. Serve immediately for best probiotic benefits. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and honey with maple syrup or agave.
