Mango Lassi Overnight Oats

Lassi is a yogurt-based milkshake or smoothie Indian style. They come in all kinds of flavors, but I absolutely adore mango lassis. And I adore cardamom.

Sprinkle granola or chopped nuts on top for the contrast of the crunch.

This is an outrageously delicious way to start the day. It’s like dessert for breakfast!

Recipe Notes

Jump start a second breakfast by making a double batch of the oats, cardamom and milk. The next day I mix it with shredded carrot or apple, or both. YUM!

Or mix in any summer fruit (peach, plum, berries). YUM!

Cranberry Orange Sauce

More than of recipe, this is a launching point for cranberry sauce.

And not just for Thanksgiving.  In the Good Mood Red Foods category, cranberries are rich in flavonoids which can help improve memory and brain function.

This sauce can be used so  many ways. Here are a couple of ideas:

  • Add to a bowl of oatmeal — or quinoa porridge mhhmmm so seasonally delicious
  • Mix into plain Greek yogurt with granola for breakfast or dessert
  • Top pancakes or waffles as an alternate to syrup.
  • Mix into Greek yogurt or cream cheese and make pancake (waffle or muffin) “sammies” (sanwiches) for breakfast on the go or an afternoon snack.
  • Use it on crostini or crackers for an appetizer: spread soft goat cheese (or cream cheese), top with cranberry orange sauce and chopped chives or green onion.

Variations:

  • Rather than orange zest, use lemon or lime zest
  • And add 1 – 2 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
