Coconut & Mango Overnight Oats Benefits
What better way to start the day than with a tropical breakfast? Coconut and mango are the best of friends, not to mention being full of vitamins that are great for your skin. Let’s take a little look at the ingredients:
Oats
Oats are the heart and soul of all our recipes. They create a creamy and satisfying base for your overnight oats. Packed with fibre and nutrients, oats provide sustained energy and keep you feeling full throughout the morning.
Coconut Milk
Coconut milk is the perfect liquid for this tropical recipe. It adds a rich and creamy texture to your oats, with a hint of palm-fringed paradise to boot. It’ll infuse your breakfast with a delicate coconut flavour that perfectly complements the mango. But if you’re not a fan of coconut milk, then feel free to use your preferred milk alternative.
Mango
Say aloha to the star of the show: juicy and vibrant mango! Diced mango chunks bring a burst of sweetness and tropical flair to your overnight oats. Mangoes are not only delicious but also loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to your breakfast.
Shredded Coconut
For an extra touch of the tropics (and to add a variety of texture too), sprinkle in some shredded coconut. The flakes add a delightful crunch and an additional layer of coconut flavour to your oats. If you’re a coconut enthusiast, this ingredient is a must.
