Nutritional Summary
The product receives a poor rating primarily due to its very high sugar content, with a single serving containing 27g of sugar (22g of which is added), contributing to a significant portion of the daily recommended intake. The presence of permitted synthetic food colours (INS 110, INS 102) also negatively impacts the score. While it is a source of calcium and contains active lactic cultures, these benefits are overshadowed by the high sugar level.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Frozen Mango Lassi Pops
1. Pour the Mango Lassi directly into popsicle molds. 2. For added texture, drop in a few small pieces of fresh mango. 3. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until solid. 4. Enjoy as a frozen treat.
Health Benefits
This creates a portion-controlled dessert, helping to manage sugar intake compared to drinking the entire bottle at once.
Mango Lassi & Oat Smoothie Bowl
1. In a blender, combine half a bottle (100ml) of Mango Lassi with 1/4 cup of rolled oats and a handful of spinach. 2. Blend until smooth. 3. Pour into a bowl and top with chia seeds, unsweetened coconut flakes, and a few nuts. 4. Serve immediately.
Health Benefits
Adds fiber from oats and seeds, and nutrients from spinach, creating a more balanced and filling meal while reducing the overall sugar load.
Additive Analysis
The product contains synthetic colors INS 110 and INS 102, which are permitted by FSSAI within specified limits. However, Tartrazine (INS 102) has been linked to hyperactivity in some children and allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. The use of nature-identical flavours is also permitted. Overall, the additives are within FSSAI regulations but may be a concern for health-conscious consumers or those with sensitivities.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Source of Calcium' is factually correct as the product contains 86mg of calcium per 100ml. However, marketing it as a refreshing, healthy drink is questionable given the very high sugar content. The low mango pulp content (2%) contrasts with the prominent mango imagery, which could mislead consumers into thinking the fruit content is higher. The overall impression of a healthy fruit beverage is not fully supported by the nutritional profile.
