This is Part 2 of my Overnight Oats series because preparing overnight oats in advance is an incredibly convenient way to streamline your mornings into something delicious!
Allow me to introduce, Mango Milk.
We’ve all had flavors of milk like strawberry or chocolate, but what about mango?
I created what I like to call mango milk for this recipe and it is truly a revelation. It’s so yummy, flavorful and no sugar needed!
The sweetness of the ripe mango adds a natural sweetness to this recipe so I don’t use any additional sweetness in this recipe. Just 100% minimal, whole food ingredients.
I love adding chia seeds to this recipe because it’s sort of like the best of both worlds. Overnights oats and chia seed pudding!
When chia seeds are mixed in with the mango milk it allows the chia seeds to gelatinize.
This means they unlock even more of their superfood nutritional benefits. One being that they are incredible for digestion and a great brain health food!
That’s why I love to add them to my morning breakfasts to start my day off on a great note. 🙂

Mangoes also contain compounds that have been linked to anti-inflammatory properties, promoting overall health and wellbeing.

Lime: Adding a tangy twist to the recipe, lime not only enhances the flavor but also offers its own set of benefits. Limes are loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants that boost the immune system. They also provide a refreshing zing to awaken your taste buds.

Chia Seeds: These tiny powerhouses are a fantastic source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and essential minerals. Chia seeds can promote satiety, aid digestion, and support heart health. Their gel-like consistency when soaked in liquid also helps create a creamy texture in overnight oats.
