Mango lassi or mango yogurt smoothie is my kids' favorite and they have to have it whenever we are in any Indian restaurant. Mango is a summer fruit and I end up making lassi with fresh mangoes several times during the season to my kids' delight.
It is delicious, filling, and healthy with all the right ingredients.

In this recipe, I am using fresh mangoes and homemade yogurt made in instant pot.

Adjust the sweetness and thickness as per liking by adding sugar and or water.
