This mango oatmeal is a fun combination of two recipes: Indian mango lassi and overnight oats. Lassi is an Indian yogurt-based drink that can be salty or sweet and comes in all sorts of flavors. Spicy Lassi, called namekeenis only prepared with yoghurt (there), salt and water. Sweet lassi, on the other hand, is similar to milkshakes or smoothies and can contain fruit, fruit juices, and spices. Classic flavors include saffron, strawberry, and mango.
Mango lassi is made by blending mango pulp with yogurt, sugar, and cardamom, then diluting it with water or milk to create a sweet and refreshing drink. In our recipe we avoided sugar and milk and used soy yoghurt instead of milk yoghurt. The result is a thicker lassi that’s more like a smoothie, and it is sugar-free, dairy-free and high in protein.
To make our lassi even healthier, we added oats and blended everything together until smooth. You can enjoy it right away or keep it in the fridge overnight. This way the oats will absorb the liquid and soften, giving you a thick and creamy texture. Making overnight oats is a fantastic way to eat oatmeal without cooking it, unlike regular oatmeal. It saves you time and effort while still letting you enjoy all the benefits of this nutritious food.
We recommend using old-fashioned oats, also known as rolled oats, but you can also opt for instant oats. They are both healthy and nutritious; The difference is that instant oats are steamed longer, pressed thinner than rolled oats, and can sometimes be ground into small pieces. You can opt to flash the oats with mango or simply stir them into the lassi for a chunkier texture.
We love this recipe because we can pack a delicious, healthy breakfast in a small jar and enjoy it on the go when we’re in a hurry. With each serving we get all the fiber, protein and slow-release carbohydrates we have to stay Energized and full throughout the morning. Plus, we’re just addicted to the sweet, tropical flavor of mango and can’t get enough of it!
