I love having some toddler breakfasts (and breakfast for myself!) ready and waiting in the fridge to ensure we have a healthy start no matter what the morning brings. This is also a great strategy for when you have a new baby in the house, a busy morning ahead, and/or find morning meals to be a challenge. These mango overnight oats with yogurt have protein, healthy fats, fruit, fiber, and vitamin C. And they’re a really yummy option for getting ahead on breakfast. Use mango paired with Greek yogurt and a few other pantry staples to put this recipe together. Once mixed, you simply store it in the refrigerator so it softens and is ready to grab in the morning. You can blend it smooth for babies and serve it in a reusable pouch, or serve it with a spoon in a bowl. Here’s how to make it.

Ingredients You Need
To make this mango overnight oats recipe you’ll need the following ingredients from the fridge and pantry. This will help you know what to have on hand to get started.
Plain whole-milk Greek yogurt: This thick yogurt is high in protein and calcium. If you only have regular yogurt, you can also use that. See the Notes at the end of the recipe down below for more information. Hemp seeds: Hemp seeds add fiber, protein, and fats, which make this recipe more satisfying. Rolled oats: I like to grind old-fashioned oats in the blender so they have a finer texture, but that’s optional. You can also start with oat flour. Shredded unsweetened coconut: I love the tropical flavor of coconut paired with mango, but you can omit it if you prefer. Vanilla extract: Use pure vanilla extract or imitation extract as you like. Maple syrup (or honey): Either of these can be used, if desired, for a little additional sweetness. Mango: You can use fresh or thawed frozen mango in this overnight oats recipe. Or you can use another favorite diced fruit.

Best Tips for Success
Dice the mango small enough that the pieces are easy to pick up with a spoon. Grind up the rolled oats or use instant oats for a smoother texture. Blend all the ingredients together to make a smoother texture. This is a great method if you’d like to serve this recipe in a reusable pouch. Omit the added sweetener if serving to a baby. Or try this Apple Overnight Oats recipe. Use berries or mashed banana in place of the mango if preferred. Dairy-free: Use a favorite nondairy yogurt. Gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
