Spiced Mango-Coconut Overnight Oats

Welcome to SPRING 2021. The birds are chirping, the masks are slowly being needed less and less, and we still crave a bowl of mushy, creamy, sweet as hell oats! Although it’s still a little chilly, we’re ready for cooling breakfast bowls that kick our bodies into frigid mode to prepare for the heat that awaits (both temperature and chatoic society messes).

Overnight Oats (OO) have a beautiful texture that almost sticks to your throat when consuming… weird, right? They’re THICK, CREAMY, and DECADENT. But it also depends on RATIO which is always an important factor.

These “Spiced Mango-Coconut Overnight Oats” are perfect for the transition of chilly cardigian spring to hot girl summer. They’ve got FLAVOR (thanks to the tradtional spice blend used in many asian dishes), decadent notes of coconut that take you to the tropics and keep you full, with a swirl of mango that mimics the perfect beach day full of mangoes on sticks.

Now grab your favorite jar and enjoy!
