Mango Lassi Overnight Oats (Print Version)

Tropical, creamy oats with mango, Greek yogurt, chia and cardamom — chilled overnight.

# Components:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
02 - 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 2 teaspoons chia seeds (optional, for extra creaminess)

→ Mango Mixture

05 - 1 cup ripe mango, diced (fresh or thawed frozen)
06 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
08 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Toppings

09 - 1/2 cup diced fresh mango
10 - 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios or almonds (optional)
11 - Pinch of ground cardamom (optional)

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds (if using). Mix well.
02 - In a blender or food processor, purée the mango with honey (or maple syrup), ground cardamom, and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - Stir the mango purée into the oat mixture until fully combined.
04 - Divide the mixture between two jars or bowls. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6–8 hours) to thicken.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It’s dessert-sneaking-in-as-breakfast that’s secretly loaded with fiber and fruit.
  • The prep takes mere minutes and the flavors layer themselves overnight—no effort required in the morning rush.
02 -
  • If you rush the soaking step, the oats stay grainy and stubborn rather than luxuriously soft.
  • Taste your mango first—a tart variety needs more honey, while peak-season fruit is sweet enough on its own.
03 -
  • For maximum mango flavor, blend in a generous pinch of cardamom—don’t be shy.
  • A swirl of extra yogurt and a final sprinkle of crushed pistachios right before serving makes this completely café-worthy.
