INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS
Mangoes:
- Ripe mangoes are required for mango lassi. The sweetness and smoothness of the lassi will be diminished if they are not ripe yet. Alphonso mangoes, available throughout the mango season, are the greatest in their buttery and sweet pulp.
Plant-based yogurt:
- I used coconut Greek-style yogurt to prepare the mango lassi. It is a creamy yogurt with a pleasant nutty taste. Plain soy yogurt is another non-dairy yogurt that can be used for this recipe.
Plant-based milk:
- You are free to select any vegan-friendly unflavored milk that you prefer to consume. We use unsweetened soy milk to make lassi. Other choices include cashew milk, coconut milk, almond milk, and oat milk. Pea, rice, or even quinoa milk are less popular but delicious additions to your lassi.
Lime juice:
- Used to add a slightly tangy taste.
Cinnamon:
- Used as a garnishing which helps to elevate the lassi taste.
Maple syrup:
- It is an optional item.
