Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 fresh ripe mango, peeled and diced
Instructions
- Prep the Mango: Peel and dice one fresh ripe mango into small chunks, saving about half to fold into the oats and reserving the rest for topping when serving.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, combine Greek yogurt, milk or milk alternative, honey or maple syrup, lime juice, and cardamom powder. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Stir the rolled oats and chia seeds into the wet mixture, ensuring all oats are fully coated and submerged.
- Fold in the Mango: Gently fold half of the diced mango into the oat mixture to distribute fresh sweetness evenly throughout.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container or jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the flavors and thicken to a creamy consistency.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness and vibrant flavor without added sugar.
- Greek yogurt can be swapped with full-fat or plant-based yogurts; adjust milk quantity accordingly.
- Chia seeds are essential for thickening and boosting fiber and omega-3 fats.
- For on-the-go breakfasts, prepare individual servings in mason jars with lids.
- Adjust sweetness after chilling by adding extra honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Try adding a pinch of saffron or cinnamon for a more complex spice profile.
- Top with toasted coconut flakes and crushed pistachios for extra texture and flavor.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers refrigerated up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended.
- Enjoy cold or gently warm in the microwave for 30 seconds with a splash of milk to loosen texture.
