Mango Lassi Overnight Oats (Printable)

Creamy mango, yogurt and oats chilled overnight for a quick tropical breakfast with cardamom and pistachio crunch.

# Ingredient list:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats (use certified gluten-free oats if required)
02 - 1 cup whole milk or unsweetened plant-based milk
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 2 teaspoons chia seeds (optional)

→ Mango Mixture

05 - 1 cup ripe mango, diced (fresh or thawed frozen)
06 - 2 tablespoons honey or pure 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 ground cardamom (optional)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, plain Greek yogurt and chia seeds (if using). Stir until evenly blended and the oats are fully moistened.
02 - Place the diced mango, honey or maple syrup, ground cardamom and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor and purée until smooth.
03 - Pour the mango purée into the oat mixture and fold gently until the mixture is homogeneous and evenly tinted by the mango.
04 - Divide the mixture between two jars or containers, cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 6–8 hours (overnight preferred) to allow the oats to soften and thicken.
05 - Before serving, give the oats a quick stir, then top with diced fresh mango, chopped pistachios or almonds and a light sprinkle of cardamom. Serve chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Your mornings will smell faintly tropical and taste like a café breakfast in bed.
  • The recipe is flexible and easily changed up for vegan, gluten-free, or extra-nutty moods.
02 -
  • Once, I rushed and used quick oats—the result was disappointingly mushy, so stick to rolled oats for the best texture.
  • I learned the hard way not to skimp on cardamom; it transforms the dish from sweet oatmeal to real-deal lassi flavor.
03 -
  • If your mango is extra sweet, cut back the honey or maple so flavors stay balanced.
  • A pinch of salt (just a pinch) wakes up every flavor and gives the oats finesse.
