# Instructions:
01 -
Add the mango to a high-speed blender along with the coconut milk, water, lime juice, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, until completely smooth. The mixture may appear thick, which is expected.
02 -
In a large bowl, mix the oats and chia seeds thoroughly. Pour the mango milk into the bowl, then add the chopped mango and stir until everything is well combined.
03 -
Let the mixture sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb some of the liquid. Then, mix again to incorporate any excess liquid on top.
04 -
Transfer the oatmeal to jars or other containers, then store in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
05 -
Top as desired and enjoy cold or warm. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
# Notes:
01 -
The sweetness level can be adjusted according to your preference and the natural sweetness of your mangoes.
02 -
Both quick-cooking and rolled oats work well, though the texture will vary slightly.
