A quick and easy 5-minute prep overnight oats recipe featuring chia seeds and fresh mango for a creamy, nutritious, and tropical breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, dairy or plant-based milk)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced fresh mango (80g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Measure and combine oats and chia seeds in a jar or bowl.
  2. Add milk and Greek yogurt to the mixture.
  3. Drizzle honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract over the mixture, then add a pinch of salt.
  4. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or small whisk until combined and chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  5. Cover and refrigerate overnight for 6 to 8 hours to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
  6. Just before serving, peel and dice fresh mango (or thaw frozen mango and drain excess liquid).
  7. Serve the chilled oats topped with fresh mango. Optionally, add a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for crunch.

Notes

If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen. If too runny, add more oats next time. Stirring halfway through soaking can help chia seeds distribute better but is optional. Use ripe mango for best flavor. Frozen mango can be used if thawed and drained. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use plant-based milk.
