Scale

- ¼ cup (60 ml) diced fresh or frozen mango
- ¼ cup (60 ml) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tsp (5 ml) honey or maple syrup

- Fresh mango chunks (for topping)
- Toasted coconut flakes (for topping)
- Chopped nuts (almonds or macadamia nuts) (for topping)

Instructions
- Preparation: Select a pristine mason jar or sealed container as the vessel for your tropical breakfast creation.
- Foundation: Layer rolled oats, coconut milk, and Greek yogurt, whisking meticulously to craft a uniform, silky base that promises creamy indulgence.
- Flavor Infusion: Integrate diced mango, shredded coconut, honey, vanilla extract, and a delicate salt pinch, meticulously blending to harmonize each nuanced element.
- Chilling Process: Hermetically seal the container and refrigerate for a minimum of 6-8 hours, allowing ingredients to meld and develop complex flavor profiles.
- Serving Ritual: Upon retrieval, gently stir the mixture, potentially adjusting consistency with additional coconut milk if needed, then embellish with fresh mango chunks and toasted coconut flakes for a visually stunning and texturally dynamic presentation.
Notes
- Prevent Watery Texture: Use rolled oats instead of quick oats to maintain a thicker, creamier consistency and avoid a runny mixture.
- Boost Protein Content: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or chia seeds for extra nutritional value and a more filling breakfast option.
- Customize Sweetness Level: Adjust honey or use alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or stevia to suit different dietary preferences and health goals.
- Enhance Tropical Flavor: Toast coconut flakes before adding to intensify their nutty aroma and create a more complex flavor profile for the overnight oats.
