Coconut Overnight Oats with Mango

The microwave at work is broken, and I didn’t want to ask for a repair or a new one. So my colleague and I brainstormed lunch ideas that don’t need reheating. She came up with some great ideas, while I had… zero. I was soooo close to bringing my sandwich maker to warm up bread or tortilla wraps.😂 In the end, I made peace with the fact that warm lunches at work are off the table, unless I order online.

My lunch ideas? Salad, sandwiches, and overnight oats. I absolutely loooove my Blueberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats, so much so that ever since I made it, I haven’t even tried other flavors. Then one day, while enjoying my mango sticky rice, I thought, “why not try a coconut and mango version for my oats?” And since it’s still mango season, I went for it.

Honestly, I was a little skeptical at first. Is it safe to use coconut milk without cooking it? 🤔 Well… I guess it is! I’m still here! 😆

I didn’t expect to love it, but I ended up really loving it and made two batches last week! 🙌🏽

NOTES ON COCONUT OVERNIGHT OATS WITH MANGO:

• You can use a non-dairy yogurt.
• A coconut-blended Greek yogurt, like Chobani, would be nice too. I used it when I made my yogurt bowl.
• If you prefer a drier overnight oats, start with 1 cup (250 ml) of coconut milk. Then, you can add more the next day.
