Tips :

• Use fresh cubed or frozen mangoes for this recipe.
• The mangoes should be ripe enough. Otherwise, you have to compromise on the taste.
• If you’re using ripe and juicy mangoes, which are sweet enough. Avoid using too much sugar. Enjoy the natural sweetness of the Mango Lassi.
• I would not recommend storing the lassi in the refrigerator to be used later on.  In that case, the taste might deteriorate.
• If there’s a health concern, just replace sugar with Honey. You can simply avoid sugar also. Since the mangoes itself comes up with enough sweetness, I personally do not prefer adding many artificial sweeteners in the lassi.
• You can add chopped dry fruits such as Raisins, Cherries to enhance the taste of this recipe.
