Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 and 1/4 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch fine sea salt
1/2 cup diced fresh mango
Instructions
1. Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and fine sea salt to a medium mixing bowl or large measuring cup and stir to combine.
2. Pour in the unsweetened coconut milk, plain Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture looks smooth and the yogurt is fully blended.
3. Stir the wet ingredients into the oats and chia seeds until everything is evenly combined and no dry pockets remain.
4. Gently fold in the diced fresh mango.
5. Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers, making sure each one has a good amount of fruit.
6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the oats are soft and the chia seeds have thickened the mixture.
7. In the morning, stir each jar well. If the oats are thicker than you like, add a splash of extra coconut milk to loosen.
8. Top with any extra fruit, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts and enjoy chilled.
Notes
For the creamiest texture, make sure to stir the oats very well before chilling so the chia seeds are evenly distributed—otherwise you can end up with clumps or a thin layer of liquid on top.
