Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- Chopped pistachios
- Extra mango chunks
Instructions
- Blend the mango mixture: In a blender, combine the mango chunks, Greek yogurt, milk, honey, ground cardamom, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring an even flavor throughout.
- Mix with oats: Pour the blended mango mixture into a jar or container and stir in the rolled oats until fully combined. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jar or container tightly and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This soaking time softens the oats and melds the tropical mango lassi flavors.
- Serve chilled: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to combine any settled ingredients. Top with chopped pistachios and extra mango pieces for crunch and freshness. Enjoy your chilled mango lassi overnight oats immediately.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Add chia seeds to the mixture before refrigerating for additional texture and fiber.
- Adjust the sweetness depending on the ripeness of your mango; reduce honey or syrup if mangoes are particularly sweet.
