Easy, healthy and yummy, Mango-Coconut Overnight Chia Oats is perfect for breakfast, post workout or anytime you need a high protein boost.
As the weather gets warmer, I always begin to eat lighter and healthier. Also, last year I added working out to my daily routine, so I’ve become more focused on high protein, healthy meals and snacks. Chia seeds and oats are a great way to get protein and nutrients with no fat. They are also super easy and versatile as this recipe proves. It’s fast, yummy and healthy, everything a breakfast or after workout snack should be.
I make my own trail mix with ingredients from my local bulk food store. I included goji berries, dried mulberries, almond slices and toasted coconut slices. You can use these or make your own mix. For topping I used frozen mango and berries. Coconut and mango are a great taste combination. Definitely one of my summer favorites!
How to make Mango-Coconut Overnight Chia Oats
Making mango-coconut overnight chia oats is really easy. Just measure out the oats, chia seed and stevia leaf powder and place them into two small to medium size Mason jars. I used small jars for this recipe.
Next, add water until it just covers the oats and seeds. Then add the canned coconut milk. If it is separated, blend it until its well mixed. Once blended, fill each jar to the rim with the milk, and cover. Place in the refrigerator overnight.
The next morning, spoon it into a small bowl or glass. If it’s too thick, add a little more coconut milk. Stir well. Finally, top the mango, berries and trail mix and that’s it!
Healthy High Energy Boost
Eating a high energy breakfast is a great way to start your day. For those on the go, overnight oats and chia pudding are a great, time saving idea. This recipe combines both in one, and with added fruit, nuts and seeds, makes it a breakfast that is yummy and healthy.
Be sure to use organic, unsweetened and salt free versions of everything for added health benefits. Enjoy!
