Mango Blended Overnight Oats (Printable Version)

Smooth mango oats combined with yogurt and topped with granola for a fresh, easy breakfast or snack.

# What You 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)

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - In a blender, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, chia seeds if using, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
02 - Add diced mango to the blender and blend again until fully incorporated and smooth.
03 - Pour the blended mixture into two jars or bowls. Cover and refrigerate overnight for at least 6 hours to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
04 - Before serving, stir the oats and top each serving with granola and optional fresh mango slices. Serve chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's basically pudding for breakfast, but nobody needs to know how easy it actually is.
  • Your blender does all the work while you sleep, and you get a restaurant-worthy smoothie bowl without the $14 price tag.
  • That granola crunch against the creamy mango base is the small luxury that makes ordinary mornings feel intentional.
02 -
  • Don't skip blending the oats—I learned this the hard way when I tried to save time, and the texture was gritty instead of silky; the blender is non-negotiable.
  • Use a truly ripe mango; underripe fruit won't give you that honey-like sweetness, and you'll end up adding more syrup than you should.
03 -
  • Chill your blender pitcher for five minutes before you start if you want the final mixture to be extra cold and thick—it changes the texture in the best way.
  • If your mango isn't as sweet as you'd hoped, a squeeze of lime juice actually brightens it better than adding more honey.
