Banana Lassi Recipe
Banana lassi provides excellent alternative when you don't have good fresh mangos or can't find mango puree, creating delicious variation using readily available fruit. This creative substitution demonstrates how traditional lassi concepts can adapt to seasonal availability and personal preferences while maintaining authentic preparation methods. The banana alternative offers natural sweetness and creamy texture that complements yogurt beautifully for satisfying results. This substitute approach encourages experimentation with different fruits while understanding fundamental lassi techniques that work across various ingredients. The fresh mango unavailability solution shows how flexible traditional recipes can be when core techniques are properly understood and applied.
Who doesn’t like a mango lassi, right? But when you don’t have good fresh mangos or can’t find mango puree, why not try a banana lassi? I ordered 2 in a restaurant in Udaipur because they were so good and it was because they had no mangos at the time — what a find!

Ingredients
2 over-ripe bananas, broken into chunks
1 ¼ cups thick plain yogurt
⅓ cup milk, or more to taste
2 ice cubes
2 tablespoons white sugar
Directions
Blend bananas, yogurt, milk, ice cubes, and sugar together in a blender until smooth.
Cook’s Note
The servings are small in comparison to restaurants outside of India, but I think it’s probably a good idea to consume smaller amounts of good active bacteria in yogurt.
Use a good strong-flavored yogurt; it makes all the difference. The milk is just to get things moving, so you can adjust to your preferred taste and texture. Substitute honey for sugar if desired.
