WHICH OATS ARE BEST FOR OVERNIGHT OATS?

Old fashioned (also called rolled) oats are the best choice to make overnight oats. They will soak up the liquid overnight and leave you with a creamy texture. Quick oats will leave you with a mushy texture. Steel cut oats are very hearty and will leave you with a chewy texture.

MANGO OVERNIGHT OATS HEALTH BENEFITS

• Rolled oats are an excellent source of fiber! Fiber is CRUCIAL for good gut health!

• Coconut milk is a great source of different minerals and healthy fast burning fats known as medium chain triglycerides.

• Chia seeds are another excellent source of fiber! Chia seeds also contain omega-3 fatty acids which lower inflammation and help with cognitive function.

• Coconut Yogurt is excellent for gut health! Make sure you look for live and active cultures on the label!

HOW DO YOU MAKE TROPICAL MANGO OVERNIGHT OATS

Add all your ingredients to a mason jar.

• ½ cup rolled (old fashioned) oats
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• ¼ cup coconut yogurt
• ¾ cup coconut milk
• ½ cup fresh mango can sub frozen
• ⅛ cup shredded coconut flakes

Or, you can use any type of container with a lid.

Shake up the jar, or stir to completely combine. It is important to break up any chunks of chia seeds.

Store in the fridge overnight.

You can eat them cold (they're actually delicious this way!)

Or, you can eat them warmed up. The oats may thicken when you heat them so add more milk as needed!

I like to add extra mangoes and coconut flakes when I eat mine!

Either way, they are so delicious!
