Vegan Mango Lassi (Mango Coconut Milk Shake)

Mango Lassi is an Indian drink, a yogurt-based drink which is delicious for breakfast or for afternoon tea. In this improvise version, I combine the fresh coconut milk with fresh soy milk to derive this “yogurt”-based recipe for the vegan. It is just as tasty and delicious. If you find that the bean flavour is too strong, use more coconut milk. Or you might reduce the amount of coconut milk and increase the soy milk for a more healthy tonic drink.

Preparation: 10 mins

Ingredients (serves 1)
° 1 (200g) ripe mango, peeled and diced
° 125ml fresh coconut milk
° 125ml fresh soy milk (sweetened) or water
° sugar (optional), to taste

Method
1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Taste it, add more sugar, if necessary. A few drop of rose water can be added for a fragrant Indian touch, if desired.
2. Chilled or serve with ice.
