Mango Lassi Popsicles

My girls loves mango lassi especially during summertime to cool  of the humid temperature. Fresh yogurt blend with succulent sweet mangoes is a typical Indian drink which you can find in most restaurants. During mango seasons in India, this is the drink that you can see in most of the household. The Indian mangoes are known for the thick flesh and thin skin with amazing sweet fruity aroma which no one can resist.

I made mango lassi to finish off my family weekend lunch and had some leftover which i creatively put in the popsicles mould with some diced mangoes as well. The diced mangoes add texture to the smooth pureed mangoes and creamy yogurt. Another good way to enjoy your mango lassi on the go.
