02 - 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 2 teaspoons chia seeds (optional, for extra creaminess)

08 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

01 - In a medium bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds (if using). Mix well.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No cooking required, which means you can press snooze again and still have an epic breakfast.
  • The tropical creaminess of mango lassi but heartier—like eating sunshine with a spoon.
02 -
  • Once, I skimped on letting the oats sit overnight—they ended up oddly chewy, so don’t rush this part.
  • Switching up sweetener (like maple syrup for honey) made a subtle but real difference, so trust your own taste buds.
03 -
  • Always taste your mango first—too tart and you’ll need extra sweetener; too sweet and you can hold back a bit.
  • Seal jars tightly when chilling to prevent fridge odors from sneaking in.
