In a perfect world, a delicious, healthy breakfast would always be waiting for you in the kitchen. It may sound fanciful, but with a few minutes of prep you can have ready-to-eat meals that last a couple of days. I usually enjoy breakfast at home, but this recipe travels well — these mango and chia overnight oats are ideal for a grab-and-go morning.
There are many delicious variations of overnight oats. While a peanut butter and raspberry version remains a favorite of mine, I’ve been using mango a lot lately. I recently bought a crate of mangoes and started adding them to smoothies, sorbets, salads and breakfasts. Mango pairs beautifully with oats and chia seeds: it brings a natural sweetness and creamy texture that makes the oats feel indulgent without added dairy.
For texture and visual interest, you can puree most of the mango and reserve some cubes to fold in later. The pureed mango blends with the almond milk and oats to create a luxuriously smooth base, while mango cubes add bright bursts of fruit. The oats and mango provide fiber and carbohydrates for sustained energy, and chia seeds contribute healthy fats, protein and extra fiber.
