Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1⅓ cups milk of choice (coconut milk recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons cottage cheese*
  • 2 teaspoons honey (optional, but recommended if using frozen mango)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen mango (fresh recommended)

Instructions

For layered mango overnight oats

  • Add the oats to a large storage container or bowl, then stir in chia seeds, add milk, cottage cheese, vanilla, and honey. Stir everything to combine, then cover with a lid and store in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Once the oats have softened and soaked up the liquid, stir everything again and spoon into individual mason jars or bowls, layered with the fresh mango. Serve chilled, topped with mango, granola, or plain. Store up to 5 days.

For blended mango

  • Combine fresh or frozen mango in a blender with 1 cup of milk and blend till smooth.
  • Add the oats to a large storage container or bowl, then stir in chia seeds, add mango milk, cottage cheese, vanilla, and honey. Stir everything to combine, then cover with a lid and store in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Notes

  • Coconut is sometimes an elimination food on a migraine diet. For plain overnight oats, substitute the coconut milk with another type of milk.
  • For the coconut milk, I used Native Forest. Hemp, rice milk, or regular milk are also favorites. 
  • If using oat milk or sweetened milk, you may not need to add honey. Taste and adjust accordingly. 
  • For additional protein, add your favorite protein powder. 
  • For low sodium, use a low sodium cottage cheese or omit.
