10 min · 20 g protein · 177 cals / serving
Everything you love about a mango lassi, frozen: sweet ripe mango, tangy yogurt, a breath of cardamom and a squeeze of lime, blitzed into a sunshine-yellow frozen yogurt as smooth as soft-serve. Finished with chopped pistachios and a little lime zest.
Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen mango, chunks, straight from the freezer
- 1 3/4 cups nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 1/3 scoops whey protein, vanilla or unflavoured
- to taste stevia, or 2 tsp honey
- 4 tsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp cardamom, ground, or the seeds of 4 pods, crushed
To serve
- zest of 1/2 lime lime, finely grated
- 1 tbsp pistachios, chopped
Steps
- Put the frozen mango, yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, lime juice and cardamom in a food processor.
- Blend, scraping down the sides now and then, until thick, smooth and pale, 2–3 minutes. Taste and add a little more sweetener or lime if you like.
- Scoop into bowls and scatter over the pistachios and lime zest. Eat at once, or freeze in a shallow container for 1 hour for firmer scoops.
Good to know
Fresh mango instead of frozen?
Dice ripe mango and freeze it on a tray for 3 hours first. Fresh, unfrozen mango gives you a lassi rather than a frozen yogurt.
A little rose?
A few drops of rosewater, or a pinch of saffron soaked in 1 tsp hot water, is a classic lassi flavour and works beautifully here.
