Ingredients
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1 1/2 Cups Coconut Milk
- 1 Cup Quick Rolled Oats
- 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Greek Yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 2 Tablespoons Pure Honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
Toppings
- 2 Cups Fresh Mango, cubed
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the coconut milk, quick rolled oats, unsweetened Greek yogurt, chia seeds, shredded coconut, pure honey, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Layer the Jars: Take two pint-size mason jars or similar containers and add about 1/3 cup of cubed mango to the bottom of each jar. Following the mango, spoon in approximately 1/2 cup of the oatmeal mixture as the next layer.
- Repeat Layers: Add another layer of 1/3 cup cubed mango to each jar, then add another 1/2 cup of the oatmeal mixture on top of the mango layer.
- Top with Mango: Finish by placing the remaining cubed mango on top of each jar for a beautiful and colorful finish.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Secure the lids on the jars and transfer them to the refrigerator. Let the oats and chia seeds soak and absorb the liquids overnight, for at least 6-8 hours or preferably overnight.
- Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, give the oats a gentle stir if desired, add any optional toppings such as coconut whip or puffed millet cereal, and enjoy your tropical, nutrient-packed breakfast!
Notes

- To make this recipe vegan, substitute the Greek yogurt with a non-dairy yogurt alternative and replace honey with pure maple syrup.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or adjusted for more servings.
- Use fresh, ripe mango for best flavor and sweetness.
- Overnight oats can be stored refrigerated for up to 2-3 days.
