The past few weeks I have been preparing for the ultimate final exams: my licensure exams! I have been taking my books with me everywhere. If you are wondering where I have been lately, that’s your answer. I have missed cooking and blogging so much, but in two more weeks it will all be over.
For my study breaks, I still make time to make something quick and easy. Today I blended up a mango lassi – my favorite drink to order when we go out to eat at Indian restaurants. It has been sunny and warm here in San Francisco lately, so a mango lassi is the perfect, refreshing drink! It is made with a few simple ingredients: mango, plain yogurt, honey and a dash of cardamom (you can also use allspice instead). You can use frozen mango, or cut a mango into cubes and freeze for 30 minutes before making your mango lassi. It tastes like a creamy mango smoothie!
The past few nights I haven’t been sleeping well. I am heartbroken over the tragic news last weekend in Isla Vista, CA – a small college town where I spent four years of my life. My heart badly aches for all involved…
- 1 cup frozen mango cubes
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp honey
- Pinch of cardamom (can substitute allspice)
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend well.
MANGO LASSIS ARE MY FAVORITE DRINK. I drink them ALL the time in India – mangoes are just so good!
Good luck for your final exams. What pressure! I’m pleased to hear the weather has warmed up for you and with warm weather comes mangoes! I love the look of your lassi xx
anything with mangoes, i am sold.
I’ve ordered many of these at Indian restaurants, but have never made one myself. Now I can. 😉 Fun recipe — thanks.
Good luck with your exams! Only two more weeks!! Mango lassis sound delicious! And so beyond easy!
Good luck with your exams! This drink looks like it would definitely help perk you up for them! Yum!
What a deliciously refreshing drink, I have grown up drinking it 😀
Seriously good luck for your exams!
Cheers
