  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup or sugar

  • ½ cup cold water
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoon high-protein oats

Toppings

  • After 5 minutes, stir thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and don't stick to the bottom or clump together. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight for best results.

  • Stir the oats in the morning. If they are thicker than you like, add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water or milk. Top with chopped mango and pistachios, and enjoy.

Notes

  1. Adjust consistency: The consistency will vary depending on the thickness of your Greek yogurt and mango puree. Add liquid as needed to loosen it.
  2. Start without additional liquid. It is easier to loosen the oats in the morning than to fix oats that are too runny.
  3. For a slightly softer texture, add 2 tablespoons water or milk before refrigerating.
  4. Taste the mango-lassi mixture before adding the oats. Some mangoes need no additional sweetener.
  5. Stir the mixture twice-once immediately and again after five minutes-to prevent chia clumps.
  6. Add fresh mango and pistachios shortly before serving for the best texture.
  7. For the best consistency, enjoy within two days, matching the storage guidance in your existing overnight-oats recipe.
