Creamy Mango Lassi Protein Shake with Cardamom

Ingredients

• 1 lime (Washed, dried, zested, and juiced)
• 2 mangoes (Washed, dried, peeled, flesh sliced away from pits, and roughly chopped)
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 16 fl oz whole milk
• ground cardamom (Add to taste)
• pure maple syrup (Add to taste)
• salt (Add to taste)
• vanilla extract (Add to taste)
• 20 g vanilla whey-based protein powder (Use a powder containing 20 grams protein per serving; quantity not specified)
• ice (Optional, for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   If desired, adjust the shake's consistency by planning to add more or less liquid according to the protein powder package instructions. Because the recipe makes about 8 cups, work in batches if needed so the mixture fits comfortably in your blender.

2. 2

   Wash and dry the lime. Zest it and juice it directly into the blender.

3. 3

   Wash and dry the mangoes. Peel them, slice the flesh away from the pits starting with the flat sides, and roughly chop the mango flesh. Add the chopped mango to the blender.

4. 4

   Add the whole milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla whey-based protein powder, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and ground cardamom to the blender.

5. 5

   Blend on high speed for several minutes, working in batches if necessary, until the shake is smooth.

6. 6

   Divide the shake among glasses. Add ice if desired, then serve and enjoy.

Notes

The structured recipe does not specify quantities for the cardamom, maple syrup, salt, vanilla extract, or protein powder beyond the powder's stated protein content per serving. It also does not specify the exact amount of optional ice or a precise blending duration beyond several minutes.
