Iced Mango Lassi Smoothie Bowl (Printable Version)

Creamy mango and yogurt lassi blended into a chilled smoothie bowl, finished with granola, chia and fresh fruit.

# What You Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (about 2 cups) or 2 cups frozen mango chunks
02 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt alternative)
03 - ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
04 - 1 tablespoon honey (optional, adjust to taste)
05 - ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
06 - ½ cup ice cubes

→ Toppings

07 - ½ mango, diced
08 - 2 tablespoons granola or toasted coconut flakes
09 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
10 - Fresh mint leaves
11 - Slices of fresh banana or berries (optional)

# How To Make It:

01 - Add the chopped mango, Greek yogurt, milk, honey (if using), ground cardamom, and ice cubes to a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
02 - Pour the blended mixture evenly into two serving bowls, swirling gently to help it settle and create a level surface for toppings.
03 - Artfully arrange the diced mango, granola or toasted coconut flakes, chia seeds, and fresh mint leaves on top of each bowl. Add banana slices or berries if desired.
04 - Serve right away while chilled for the best texture and flavor. The smoothie base will soften quickly at room temperature.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • The cardamom sneaks up on you and suddenly you are tasting something that feels like it took hours instead of ten minutes.
  • Frozen mango makes this possible year round, which means never waiting for summer to have a favorite breakfast again.
02 -
  • If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the mango sit at room temperature for five minutes before blending, patience here saves you from a burnt motor.
  • Adding the milk all at once instead of gradually is the fastest way to end up with something too thin to be called a bowl, so pour slowly and check consistency.
03 -
  • Cardamom loses its punch quickly once ground, so buy whole pods and crush them yourself right before blending for a flavor that is noticeably brighter.
  • Chilling your serving bowls in the freezer for ten minutes before pouring keeps everything cold longer, which matters more than you think on a hot day.
