Mango Lasse W/ Wild Honey, Cardamom And Pistachios

If you like smoothies and mangos, you’re probably going to love this one. This Lasse takes the traditional ingredients and bumps it up a notch. Instead of yogurt, I like to use sour cream (incidentally that’s how I make my curry), and instead of granulated sugar, I use wild honey and the coconut milk seems to bring everything together really well.

1 c mango, peeled and diced
1½ c coconut milk
1 tbs sour cream
2/3 tbs wild honey
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
Shelled pistachios (optional)
Pinch of cardamom (optional)

Add the first 5 ingredients to a blender. Puré until smooth. Pour into your glass, sprinkle with a little extra cardamom and pistachios and enjoy.
