This vegan mango lassi with coconut, rose, cardamom, and turmeric is super tasty, tangy; loaded with immune-boosting nutrients; and is an anti-inflammatory avenger.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) raw coconut water
  • 1 1/2 cup (360g) plain unsweetened coconut yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut nectar (or pure maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon pure rose water
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric juice (or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric)
  • Pinch of finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom, plus more to taste
  • 2 cups (320g) frozen mango 
  • Pinch of Celtic sea salt (optional, see notes)
  • 1/2 teaspoon probiotic powder (optional, see notes)

Instructions

  1. Throw all of the ingredients into your blender, and blast on high for 30 to 60 seconds until smooth and creamy. Tweak the lemon juice to get your preferred level of tang (depending on the yogurt you’re using) and add cardamom to taste. 

Recipe Notes

*Probiotic Powder - I add 1/2 teaspoon of probiotic powder to all smoothies to replenish stores of healthy bacteria for immunity, digestion, detox, and to balance the acidic effects of high-sugar fruits and other sweeteners. The really potent probiotics require refrigeration. If you have capsules, break the shell and release the powder. Unsweetened probiotic-rich liquids like kefirs (water, coconut water, milk varieties) or kombucha make wonderful health-promoting additions to shakes, too.

*Celtic Sea Salt - I add a pinch (or more) of this alkalizing, mineral-rich salt to all smoothies to boost the natural flavor of fruits and veggies; temper the acidity of sweet fruits and sweeteners; stimulate the lymphatic system; replenish electrolytes; aid digestion; and help the body access energy. I do not recommend adding common table salt which is generally heated to extreme temperatures, iodized, bleached, processed, and refined. This salt does not have the same benefits. If you have a health condition that requires you to limit your sodium intake consult your doctor before adding salt to your smoothies.
