Recipe inspo

The easiest meal prep, overnight oats make your mornings so much quicker. Being a big porridge lover, I’ve been playing around with different overnight oats recipes for years. As they all tend to lean towards tastes suited for cold weather, I set about making a summery version.

Enter mango chia seed and coconut overnight oats. These oats are bursting with fresh flavours with the succulent mango being the star. Mixing three different types of coconut including coconut milk, coconut yogurt and desiccated coconut, these oats are extra creamy and indulgent. The chia seeds give an interesting texture which I love!

Vegan and dairy free, these overnight oats also contain 10 grams of protein. And they’re so simple to make. Chuck all your ingredients in a container, leave in the fridge overnight and then take out and enjoy in the morning.

Overnight oats frequently asked questions

How long do overnight oats need to soak?

Soak your overnight oats for at least six hours in the fridge to allow the oats to soak up the liquid.

Do you eat overnight oats warm or cold?

I take my overnight oats out of the fridge half an hour before I eat them so they can warm up a little and aren’t fridge cold. If you prefer your oats warm, you can pop them in the microwave or in a saucepan over a low heat until warmed through.

How long will overnight oats keep in the fridge?

With this overnight oats recipe, I’d recommend eating within two or three days. The longer you leave it the softer the mango will become and personally, I prefer my mango a little firmer.

What else can you put in overnight oats?

There’s endless combinations you can put together to create a cracking overnight oats recipe. Why not try my apple raisin and almond overnight oats?
