1 Alphonso Mango Calories — Full Nutrition Breakdown

One medium Alphonso mango weighs approximately 150 g after peeling. At that weight, it delivers roughly 100–105 kilocalories. The calorie count rises proportionally for larger Devgad fruits at 180–220 g, which provide 115–130 kcal per fruit.

Why Does Alphonso Have Fewer Calories Than It Tastes?

Alphonso registers 18 to 24° Brix, which measures dissolved solids including sugars. Yet calorie density remains moderate because the fruit is mostly water — over 83% by weight. The sweetness is intensely aromatic rather than purely high-sugar. This is why one Alphonso mango calories clock in lower than many processed snacks of the same weight.

Dietary fibre	~1.6 g

How Many Calories Are in Mango Lassi?

A standard 300 ml glass of mango lassi made with one Alphonso mango, 150 ml full-fat yogurt, 50 ml milk, and one teaspoon of sugar contains approximately 250–280 kcal. Substitute low-fat yogurt and skip added sugar to bring it below 200 kcal. The mango itself contributes around 100–105 kcal; the yogurt contributes the bulk of the rest.

Is Mango Lassi Good for Weight Loss?

In moderation, yes. Alphonso mango is low in fat (0.4 g per 100 g) and provides natural sugars with fibre. Yogurt adds protein, which increases satiety. The key is portion size and avoiding excess added sugar.

Mango Lassi — Indian Yogurt Drink, Vegetarian and Breakfast-Ready

Mango lassi is creamy, sweet, and cold. It is made with ripe mangoes, yogurt (dahi), milk, and a pinch of cardamom. It is 100% vegetarian. In India it doubles as a breakfast drink, a midday cooler, and a companion to spicy food at dinner.

Alphonso mango gives lassi a saffron-gold colour and a depth of flavour that canned mango pulp cannot replicate. The fibre-free pulp blends completely smooth with no straining needed.

How is Mango Lassi Different from Regular Lassi?

Regular lassi is either sweet (meethi lassi) or salted (namkeen lassi) — made purely with yogurt and water or milk. Mango lassi adds ripe mango pulp, which raises the natural sugar content, deepens the colour, and introduces vitamins A and C that plain lassi lacks. The mango also reduces the lactic tang of yogurt, making it milder and more approachable for children.

What is Mango Lassi, and Where Did It Originate?

Lassi originated in the Punjab region of undivided India, where yogurt was churned with water and spices. The mango version gained popularity as Alphonso and other summer mangoes became widely traded across India in the twentieth century. Today mango lassi appears on menus from Mumbai street stalls to Michelin-starred Indian restaurants in London and New York.

Alphonso Mango Lassi Recipe

Simple Mango Lassi Recipe

Serves: 2  |  Prep time: 5 minutes  |  Calories per glass: ~250–280 kcal

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe Alphonso mangoes (approx. 300 g pulp)
• 250 ml full-fat yogurt (dahi)
• 100 ml chilled milk
• 1 tsp sugar (optional — Alphonso is sweet enough at 18 to 24° Brix)
• ¼ tsp cardamom powder
• Pinch of saffron (optional, for colour and aroma)
• Ice cubes

Method:

1. Peel the mangoes and slice the pulp off the stone. Alphonso pulp separates cleanly — no fibrous strands.
2. Place pulp, yogurt, milk, sugar, and cardamom in a blender.
3. Blend on high for 45 seconds until completely smooth and frothy.
4. Taste. Add more sugar only if needed. Devgad Alphonso rarely needs it.
5. Pour over ice and serve immediately. Garnish with a pinch of saffron or crushed W180 cashews.

Mango Lassi Variants

How to Make Spicy Mango Lassi

Add ¼ tsp roasted cumin powder and a pinch of black salt (kala namak) to the blender. The savoury notes balance Alphonso's sweetness. This version pairs particularly well with biryani or spiced rice.

How to Make Mango Lassi with Mango Juice

When fresh Alphonso is out of season (July–March), substitute 150 ml of AlphonsoMango.in mango pulp for the fresh fruit. The method is identical. Calorie count drops slightly because commercial pulp is thinner than fresh Alphonso flesh.

How to Make Mango Lassi without Yogurt

Replace yogurt with coconut cream for a vegan version. Use 200 ml coconut cream in place of 250 ml yogurt. The result is thinner and slightly less tangy. Coconut cream adds approximately 180 kcal per 100 ml, so the overall drink is richer in calories than the standard recipe.

Mango Lassi as a Breakfast Idea

One glass of Alphonso mango lassi provides roughly 250–280 kcal, 8–10 g protein (from yogurt), and 40% of the adult daily requirement for vitamin C. It is a complete light breakfast for adults and a nutrient-rich school-day drink for children during April–June.

History of Mango Lassi

Lassi's roots go back several centuries in Punjab. The addition of mango — specifically Alphonso, Kesar, or Langra varieties — became common in western and southern India as mango cultivation expanded under Mughal and later colonial agricultural practices. Alphonso, named for the Portuguese viceroy Afonso de Albuquerque, was cultivated and refined in the Konkan coast, particularly around what is now Ratnagiri and Devgad districts of Maharashtra. The combination of coastal mango sweetness with inland yogurt culture produced mango lassi as it is known today.

How to Identify Genuine Alphonso Mangoes

What Is the Brix Level of Devgad Alphonso?

Devgad Alphonso tests at 23–24° Brix at full ripeness. Ratnagiri Alphonso measures 22–23°. Both are significantly sweeter than common commercial mango varieties, which typically register 14–18° Brix. A refractometer reading below 20° on a fruit sold as Alphonso is a red flag.

What Does GI Certified Alphonso Mean?

GI No. 139 (Geographical Indication Registry, India) protects the name "Alphonso" for mangoes grown in specific talukas of Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts of Maharashtra. Only GI Authorised Users may legally label their fruit as certified GI Alphonso. AlphonsoMango.in holds GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260, issued 16 October 2019.

How Does Prashant Powle Select the Fruit?

Prashant Powle sources directly from 48 villages across Ratnagiri and Devgad. He grades by hand weight, skin colour, and aroma — not by machine alone. Fruit that shows even early signs of carbide exposure (uniform overnight yellowing with no aroma development) is rejected at the farm gate. Every box dispatched carries fruit that has ripened naturally on a hay bed for 2–4 days after harvest.

Storage and Ripening

How Do I Ripen Alphonso Mangoes at Home?

Place the mangoes on a dry surface at room temperature, ideally wrapped loosely in newspaper or hay if available. They will ripen in 2–4 days. Do not refrigerate unripe mangoes — cold halts the ripening process and damages the pulp texture. Once ripe (firm-yielding to gentle pressure, strong aroma), refrigerate and consume within 2–3 days.

Can I Freeze Alphonso Mango Pulp for Lassi?

Yes. Scoop ripe Alphonso pulp into ice-cube trays and freeze. Frozen cubes last up to 3 months. Use 6–8 cubes directly in the blender in place of fresh mango. The texture remains smooth; only a small degree of volatile aroma is lost during freezing.
