When the summer heat cranks up, staying cool and hydrated isn’t just a luxury; it’s a survival strategy.
According to the Indian Meteorological Department, many regions across India regularly see summer temperatures soaring above 40°C.
In that kind of heat, your energy drains quickly, and the constant sweating takes a toll on your body.
That’s where the right summer drinks make all the difference.
For those who live for chilled refreshments, mango lassi and cold-coco aren’t just cooling options; they’re must-haves.
One blends the creamy richness of yoghurt with the sweetness of mangoes, while the other delivers smooth, chocolatey indulgence in a glass.
At Vijay Dairy, a name trusted for over 50 years in dairy excellence, these summer favourites are made with purity, tradition, and top-quality ingredients.
They’re more than just drinks; they’re your perfect partners for beating the heat.
Mango Lassi – A Nutritional Classic
Lassi is deeply ingrained in Indian culture. It’s a legacy, not only a beverage. And when mango joins the mix, it creates the ideal summer combination.
Mango Lassi- The King of Cool
A creamy blend of ripe mangoes, yoghurt, a hint of sugar, and sometimes a sprinkle of cardamom, mango lassi is basically summer in a glass.
Why It Keeps You Energised:
- Natural Sugars = Quick Energy
Mangoes are rich in natural sugars like fructose and glucose, giving you a fast pick-me-up without a crash. - Probiotics for Gut Health
Yoghurt is full of probiotics that keep your digestion on track, which is especially helpful when your system feels sluggish from the heat. - Protein for Sustained Fuel
The yoghurt also provides protein, which helps keep you fuller for longer and supports steady energy levels. - Hydration Boost
Lassi contains water and yoghurt, both hydrating ingredients that help replace lost fluids in the summer sun.
Cold-Coco- Gujarat’s Summer Obsession
If you’ve ever wandered through the streets of Gujarat during peak summer, you’ve probably seen Cold-Coco stalls packed with people.
There’s a reason for this chocolatey drink to become a local legend.
Cold Coco- The Choco-Lover’s Summer Dream
Originating from Gujarat, Cold Coco is a chilled, thick chocolate drink made with cocoa powder, milk, cornflour for thickness, and sugar. Think of it as chocolate pudding in drinkable form—yes, it’s as indulgent as it sounds!
Why It Boosts Your Energy:
- Carbs + Cocoa = Brain Fuel
The sugar and carbs give you an instant energy lift, while cocoa has mild stimulants like theobromine and a bit of caffeine for a subtle mental boost. - Dairy Power
Milk brings in calcium and protein—great for bone health and muscle recovery after summer activities. - Feel-Good Factor
Chocolate isn’t just tasty; it also promotes the release of serotonin, giving you a mood lift when the heat gets overwhelming.
Unlike energy drinks or sugary sodas that spike your energy and leave you drained, both mango lassi and coldcoco offer natural, nourishing ingredients.
They’re satisfying, hydrating, and won’t mess with your system.

Though popular, soft drinks and synthetic drinks lack nourishment. Dairy-based beverages like mango lassi and cold coco provide natural benefits that help your body thrive in summer.

- Perfect After a Meal
These beverages are excellent coolants after dinner. While cold coco is a dessert replacement, lassi helps digestion.
