Frozen Smoothies

Ripe mango blends with tangy plain yogurt and a pinch of fragrant cardamom for a velvety frozen cooler. Inspired by northern India's classic roadside beverage, it pairs well with warm curries or works as a cool midday break. Spoon or sip it straight while the slush stays silky and thick.
To make Mango Lassi Smoothie in a slush machine, blend frozen mango, mango juice, plain yoghurt, pour the mix into the machine and run the Slush / Frozen Drink program for about 20–25 minutes. This Frozen Smoothies recipe makes a full 2.4-litre batch — about 8–10 glasses — ready to serve straight from the tap.

Batch size
Step 1
Blend the fruit and any fresh herbs with the liquid ingredients until completely smooth, then strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds, skins and fibres — solids will clog a slush machine.
Step 2
Pour the strained mixture into the machine's container — do not add ice cubes, the machine freezes the liquid itself.
Step 3
Select the Slush / Frozen Drink program and let it run until it reaches a smooth, scoopable slush consistency.
Step 4
Serve straight away for the best texture.
Freeze times vary with starting temperature — check at the first beep and give it 5 more minutes if it's still loose.
No slush machine? Add about 1 kg (8 cups) of ice and blend in batches until smooth.
About 20–25 min on the Slush / Frozen Drink program. Mixing the base takes around 10 minutes — pre-chilled ingredients freeze noticeably faster.
A full batch is 2.4 litres — about 8–10 glasses. Use the portion switch above for a 1-litre half batch or the exact amount per glass.
Yes — this recipe contains no alcohol, so it works for kids, parties and designated drivers alike.
Yes. Mix the same ingredients, add about 1 kg of ice and blend in batches until smooth. The texture is a little icier than from a machine, so serve it straight away.
Almost always too much sugar or alcohol — or warm ingredients. A slush sets at roughly 120–160 g sugar per litre and under ~10% alcohol. Stick to the amounts above, chill everything first, and check your own tweaks in the will-it-freeze calculator.
