>> Hilah: Hey dudes!
I am Hilah, and today on Hilah Cooking I have another delicious, frosty mango drink for
you.
This time there’s not alcohol in it.
Boo!
I know, right?
But it is still delicious, and it’s really healthy.
It’s called a Mango Lassi.
It’s yogurt, mango, and ice.
That’s pretty much it.
It’s great for breakfast or a quick snack, or even a light dessert, and it’s super-simple,
I’ll show you how to make it right this second coming up in just T minus 10 seconds.

[Mango Lassi Recipe]
>> Hilah: So the basic recipe is just a little bit of water.
This is just sort of to get it moving.
It should be fluid, thin enough to drink, kind of like a go-gurt, but actually healthy,
and then some plain yogurt.
I imagine you could use a flavored yogurt if you like, plop!
But plain is traditional.
Some fresh, delicious, ripe mango.
I have cut up two mangos here, but I probably just need about half of this, the riper the
better, of course, and some ice, and this is just going to make it like really cold
and refreshing and awesome.
And a lot of recipes will call for sugar.
I like to just add a little bit of honey.
I think the mango is really pretty sweet, so maybe just a little spoonful of honey.
Helps the medicine go down, and then we just blend it up.
You could add mint.
You add cardamom.
You could even add turmeric if you wanted more of an intense, yellow color, so here
we go.
[blend] Voila!
Et.
voila!
So, I don't know, did I mention this drink originates in India, and it’s served in
like the really hot summer days to cool you off.
Look at that.
Mmmmmmmm!
Delightful!
In America we call this a smoothy.
Mmmmmm!
Do I have something on my face?
Mmmmmmm!
That’s delicious.
It’s nice and tart, very mangoey, and cold and it’s icy, and it’s just really great.
I hope you try it.
You could use different fruits too if you like.
If you have another fruit that’s in season where you are that is going to be riper and
more delicious than a mango at this time, go ahead and use that.
Mix it up.
Leave a comment, and let me know what you think, and I will talk to you guys soon!
Bye!
