HEALTH BENEFITS
Overnight oats does wonders for your health especially the gut health because of it’s resistant starches and prebiotics! It is rich in fiber, protein, antioxidants, a wide range of vitamins and minerals, especially Vitamin A and C from the orange colored fruit.
Soaking it overnight helps to break the starches down, that means it’s easier to digest and to absorb more efficiently. Also, mango is low in calories but high in fiber, protective antioxidants and aid digestion.
WHAT MILK TO USE?
We used regular whole or 2% milk which makes it taste utterly delicious. Coconut milk or almond milk are also great options.
BEST JARS TO USE?
Traditional mason jars are perfect for overnights oats. They come in various sizes depending on the quantity you make and the screw top lid is secure and super easy.
How long does it need to soak?
We recommend at least 8 hours for good softness and the perfect chew. But, sometimes we have let it soak for about 4 hours when in a rush or sometimes in the morning for a tasty mid afternoon snack, especially on a hot day.
Can I use other sweeteners instead of sugar?
We loved the taste of white sugar when paired with tangy greek yogurt, cardamom and mango. However, other healthier sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, agave, brown sugar, jaggery can be used but it does alter the taste.
Can you use frozen mango?
Frozen mango is generally not as sweet when compared to the fruits that are available in the peak of summer. So, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND using sweet ripe fruits. However, if you wish to use frozen fruit, then thaw completely before using.
How long does this last?
It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. If not serving the next day, then we recommend adding mango just before serving.
Can I eat it hot?
Sure can! But the whole point of this overnight recipe is to eat it it cold, straight out of the fridge. However, if you’d like to eat it warm, then gently warm in the microwave (but don’t make it hot) and enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
