# Instructions:
01 -
Toss mango into your blender with coconut milk, water, lime juice, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Whizz on high for about a minute until it's silky smooth. Don't worry if it looks a bit thick - that's totally normal.
02 -
Grab a big bowl and stir together the oats and chia seeds. Pour your mango mixture over them, add the diced mango pieces and give everything a good mix until it's all coated.
03 -
Leave your mixture to rest for at least 5 minutes so the dry stuff can start drinking up the liquid. Then stir again to mix in any extra liquid floating on top.
04 -
Spoon your mixture into containers or mason jars and stick them in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but leaving it overnight works even better.
05 -
Add your favorite toppings and eat it cold or warmed up. You can keep any extras in the fridge for up to 5 days.
# Notes:
01 -
You can make it more or less sweet depending on how naturally sweet your mangoes are.
02 -
Quick oats and rolled oats both work fine, they'll just give you a slightly different feel when you eat them.
