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!
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom or cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 /2 cup milk of choice (I use whole milk dairy, oat or almond )
- 1/2 cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
- 1 1/2 cup mango diced
- 1 tablespoon chia
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- Mix oats, cardamom, chia and flaxseed.
- In food processor or blender, puree 1 cup diced mango with milk, Greek yogurt and honey. Stir into mixed oats. Cover and refrigerate.
- Place the remaining 1/2 cup mango into a covered container and refrigerate.
- In the morning layer overnight oats and diced mango in a bowl. Enjoy!
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!
