Mango Lassi

Lassi is a cool and refreshing yogurt drink that helps temper spicy Indian food. A ripe mango will taste and blend the best. Select a mango that is heavy for its size and gives slightly when pressed by your thumb. A potato peeler works well to remove the mango skin.

One container 2:90 vanilla yogurt with fiber (providing up to 90 calories)
3/4 cup peeled and diced ripe mango
1 teaspoon sugar substitute
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
5 to 6 ice cubes

Combine the yogurt, mango, sugar substitute, and lemon juice in the jar of a blender. Cover and blend until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds. Add the ice cubes and blend on high speed for another 60 seconds.
