Mango Lassi

This is one of my favourite drink....i planted a mango tree infront of my house about 4 years ago...and it was fruiting a lot especially during dry seasons...i dont know what to do with these mangoes until one day i saw this drink on a menu..in an indian resturant to have my banana leaf dishes...

its so delicious and refreshing plus the vitamin c..now you can try this out..

1 1/4 cups plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh mango pulp*
1/3 cup cold water
1 to 2 tablespoons honey or sugar (depending on how sweet you want it)
9 to 10 standard-size ice cubes

* Canned or frozen mango may be substituted

If using a fresh mango, peel and remove the flesh from the pit; cut mango into small pieces.

In a blender, add yogurt, lemon juice, mango pulp, water, and honey or sugar. Blend approximately 2 to 3 minutes or until you see a little forming in the mixture. Add the ice and blend until frothy! NOTE: Some people like to pour the mango mixture over ice cubes instead of blending the ice cubes in the drink.
