Print Recipe

A refreshing and nourishing smoothie bowl inspired by traditional Indian lassi, combining creamy mango, tangy yogurt, warm cardamom, and crunchy pistachio granola for a perfect breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup plain full-fat yogurt (Greek-style recommended)
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or almond milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1/3 cup roasted unsalted pistachios, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped pistachios, honey, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until oats and nuts are evenly coated.
  2. Spread granola mixture in a thin, even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment or silicone mat. Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
  3. In a blender, add mango, yogurt, milk, ground cardamom, and honey or maple syrup if using. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness by adding more milk or yogurt/frozen mango chunks as needed.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or cardamom as desired.
  5. Pour smoothie base into serving bowls and top generously with cooled pistachio granola. Garnish with extra chopped pistachios or a sprinkle of cardamom if desired.
  6. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes for best sweetness and creaminess; frozen mangoes work well too. Don’t skip cardamom for authentic flavor. Stir granola halfway through baking to prevent burning. Store granola in airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Smoothie base can be refrigerated up to 24 hours; add granola just before serving for crunch.
