Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- ½ cup mango puree (fresh or frozen and thawed)
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
Toppings
- Diced fresh mango
- Chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or container, add rolled oats, Greek yogurt, milk, mango puree, honey or maple syrup (if using), ground cardamom, a pinch of salt, and chia seeds if desired. Stir everything well until fully combined, ensuring the oats are evenly soaked.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or container tightly and place it in the refrigerator to chill overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors, softening perfectly.
- Stir and Adjust Texture: In the morning, take out the oats and give them a good stir. If the mixture feels too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen the texture for a creamier consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top the overnight oats with freshly diced mango pieces and chopped pistachios for extra freshness and crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious mango lassi inspired breakfast.
Notes
- You can use canned mango pulp such as Kesar or Alphonso for a richer, more intense mango flavor.
- For a vegan version, substitute plain Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative and use plant-based milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying honey or maple syrup according to taste or omit entirely for a less sweet dish.
- Chia seeds are optional but add extra fiber and nutrients to the recipe.
