How Does This Ayurvedic Recipe Improve Wellness?
CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Mango lassi's happy flamboyance will brighten your day with its healthy, festive atmosphere. Its sweetness invites happiness and a smile while nourishing qualities authentically replenish your body after summer heat leaves you feeling depleted. When it's time to celebrate, this satisfying treat will delight you and your friends.
Tropical Energy Boost
Mango's orange color is a sign of beta-carotene which is a tonic for your skin, eyes & liver. As yogurt's sourness and mango's beta carotene stimulates your liver, they give your energy levels a boost. Meanwhile sourness will wake you up as it flushes all the glands in your body. Your lips will pucker for this sour treat.
Satisfying & Grounding
While mango is energizing, yogurt is calming and strengthening, making a mango lassi an excellent choice for the overworked and overwhelmed. Let's face it, who doesnt feel overworked and overwhelmed sometimes? Yogurt imparts a bit of heaviness, giving mango lassi a hearty feel that will satisfy your stomach. The smooth heaviness of this drink soothes your nerves.
Food Combining
Although dairy coupled with fruit is technically incompatible, our opinion is that all rules are meant to be broken once in a while. If you find yourself bloated or uncomfortable after a mango lassi, this may be a combination for you to avoid. Simply pay attention to how it makes you feel. Each food combining guideline will create different reactions in different bodies. Your body will tell you which rules can be relaxed, and which rules demand more discipline.
Both honey and mint help with digestion, so a little remedy is within this recipe, helping you to completely enjoy your mango lassi!

Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics
(gunas).
Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick.
Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.
Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food.
Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body.
Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food.
Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods.
Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion.
Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste.
One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes.
The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent.
Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?
According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine,
people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person.
Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness.
Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
The 3 functional body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.

Why is there so much disagreement with Mango and Dairy? I know not everything is black and white. But why are so many Ayurvedic websites condoning and saying that in Ayurveda Mango can safely combine with dairy?
Can you explain your opinion?
Generally fruits should not be mixed with dairy because it disturbs digestion. The milk curdles, forming a coating around the fruit. In a smoothie, this is less problematic because the ingredients are blended.
