Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Fügen Sie für eine fruchtigere Note zusätzlich einige Ananasstücke hinzu oder garnieren Sie den Lassi mit frischer Minze. Wer es würziger mag, kann mit einer Prise Zimt oder zusätzlichem Kardamom experimentieren.

Servieren Sie den Mango Lassi Smoothie eiskalt in hohen Gläsern und bestreuen Sie ihn mit gehackten Pistazien oder einer Prise gemahlenem Kardamom für das perfekte Finish. Perfekt als Drink zum Frühstück, Nachmittagssnack oder zu würzigen indischen Gerichten.
