    With fresh mangos, milk, oats, yogurt and chia seeds, there isn't a better way to start your day than this mango overnight oats recipe.

    overnight oats with mango in glass jar

    A good breakfast is a great way to start the day - from chocolate chia seed pudding to banana oat pancakes to bacon avocado toast.

    But when it comes to weekdays, oatmeal is normally my go-to. Partly out of time and partly with just being healthy.

    However I never had gotten on the overnight oats bandwagon, until today... To be honest, it was my wife that got me into it.

    The real benefit is you just throw some ingredients together the night before and then bam, you've got yourself an easy and healthy breakfast. You can customize and add whatever flavors you like, in this case, mango and ground ginger.

    While most overnight oat recipes just use milk as the liquid, you take an extra step and blend the mango with the milk to add more flavor. In the morning, you get a creamy, pudding-like consistency that is loaded with healthy carbs, protein and fat.

    So if you're short on time but want something that is healthy, these mango overnight oats should be at the top of the list. And if you're craving more protein for breakfast, you can never go wrong with these protein overnight oats or cinnamon overnight oats.

    • Mango Overnight Oats

    Ingredient Notes

    • Mango - while I always go with fresh if possible, frozen mango will work as well.
    • Old-fashioned oats - the base of the overnight oats. DO NOT use quick cooking oats.
    • Greek yogurt - key in adding creaminess and additional nutrients.
    • Chia seeds - helps thicken the oats and creates that pudding-like consistency.

    Ingredient Swaps

    As with any recipe, you can mix up the ingredients if you prefer. Some variations include:

    • While I'm partial to whole milk, skim or fat-free milk works as well or even dairy-free milk like almond or oat milk.
    • If you aren't a fan of ginger, some cinnamon or nutmeg also works great.
    • Greek yogurt is my go-to for added creaminess, but regular yogurt is a good substitute.
    • Chia seeds are great for thickening the oats, but flax seeds work too.
    • I like to use honey for added sweetness, however you can use maple syrup or just sugar if you prefer.
    • While not a swap, if you are looking for some added fat, peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter all work great in the mixture or on top.

    Step-by-Step Photos

    Please note full ingredient list and instructions can be found in recipe card below.

    process shots of how to make mango overnight oats

    Add the milk, ½ cup of mango, vanilla extract and ginger and blend until smooth. Then take out 2 jars and add ½ cup oats, ½ cup mango mixture, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon chia seeds and 1 tablespoon honey to each.

    Cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. Top with some diced mango when ready to eat.

    FAQs

    How Long Do Overnight Oats Take?

    These overnight oats don't actually take all night. It can be ready in about 2 hours. It is just best overnight as you make the night before and enjoy the next morning.

    Can I Make with Water?

    You can but keep in mind that there is no flavor with water. I would add some more mango or honey for additional flavor.

    Do I Eat Overnight Oats Hot or Cold?

    This is entirely your preference. I like them warm so throw them in the microwave before eating.

    Health Benefits

    Oats/oatmeal is one of the best ways to start the day. There are a ton of benefits, including:

    • High in fiber, which keeps you full long
    • Contain more protein than most grains
    • Rich in antioxidants, which can help lower blood pressure
    • Lower cholesterol
    • Help lose weight

    Equipment

    The equipment you use is important to how the recipe turns out. What is needed is the following:

    • Blender/Food processor - used to blend all of the ingredients until smooth.
    • Glass jar - I like to use Mason jars.

    Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

    • Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days so you can make a batch for the week.
    • You can adjust the sweetness level by adding or taking away honey in tablespoon increments.
    • If you want warm oats, heat in the microwave for 45-60 seconds, or until warmed through.
