This overnight oats with mango recipe is like a healthy mango sago. You can meal prep it over the weekend and you’ll have healthy breakfast or snacks that are ready to eat throughout the busy work week. As a dietitian I chose gut healthy, high protein and fiber ingredients that I know will help you reach your health goals. And if you love mangos like I do, I know you will love this too!
Ingredients
Plain or vanilla flavored probiotic yogurt – As a dietitian I like to choose plain or vanilla flavoured probiotic because you can control how much sweetener you want (by adding your own later). I also like to choose one with probiotics for gut health benefits.
Milk of choice – I would choose regular dairy milk (lactose-free if you are intolerant) or high protein milk, where most are lactose free. For a plant based version, the only one I would choose is a fortified soy beverage. As a dietitian, I choose milks that have the best amount of protein.
Rolled oats – Rolled oats are rich in beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that offers health benefits such as lowering LDL “bad” cholesterol, improving heart health and helping to maintain blood sugar levels.
Chia seeds – Chia seeds are an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. They pair so well in overnight oats because of how they swell up and absorb the liquid and add a nice mouthfeel to the oats.
Honey or maple syrup – I chose a liquid sweetener because it blends easier in the overnight oats. But choose whatever sweetener you like.
Mangos – Peeled and chopped. I used fresh, ripe ataufo mangos. But you can also use frozen chopped mango in lieu of fresh.
Coconut – Shredded coconut is completely optional, but I love the combination of coconut flavor with mango.
Equipment
For this recipe, I used 8 oz (240 mL) mason jars which are the perfect size for these. Mason jars also make these portable for the perfect on the go overnight oat breakfasts or snacks. These can also be made in containers with lids or small bowls covered in plastic wrap.
