Mango Blended Overnight Oats (Printer-friendly)

Creamy mango and oats blend topped with crunchy granola, chilled and ready for a refreshing start.

# What You'll Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
05 - 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Mango Puree

07 - 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)

→ Toppings

08 - 1/2 cup granola
09 - Fresh mango slices (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, chia seeds if using, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
02 - Add diced mango to the blender and blend until fully combined and smooth.
03 - Pour the blended mixture into two jars or bowls, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
04 - Stir the oats before serving, then top each portion with granola and fresh mango slices if desired. Serve chilled.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It actually tastes better the next morning—the oats soften into silk, and the mango flavor deepens like it's been whispering to itself all night.
  • Zero cooking required once you master the blender, which means breakfast can happen on autopilot while you're still half-asleep.
  • One jar feeds two people or stretches across three breakfast days if you're eating alone, making it impossibly practical.
02 -
  • Don't skip blending the oats themselves—unblended oats will stay chunky and sad no matter how long they sit, and blending them first creates the right base texture.
  • The mixture will seem thin when you first pour it, almost like you made a mistake, but trust that those oats are about to drink up every drop of liquid and transform into something creamy.
  • If you're using frozen mango, thaw it completely and drain any excess liquid or your overnight oats will turn watery and thin by morning.
03 -
  • If your overnight oats seem too thick in the morning, a splash of cold milk stirred in brings everything back to the right consistency without diluting the flavor.
  • Ripe mango is non-negotiable here—under-ripe mango tastes fibrous and sad, so spend the extra moment finding one that smells sweet at the stem.
