Mango Protein Overnight Oats

Creamy mango overnight oats with a protein boost.

If you love mango like me but also want something a little more balanced and filling for breakfast, these Mango Protein Overnight Oats are a great option.

They’re creamy, sweet, packed with fibre and protein to help keep you full, and come together in just a few minutes ahead of time. The mango adds freshness and natural sweetness, while the oats, chia seeds, and protein help keep you satisfied throughout the morning.

They’re also easy to customize depending on the texture you prefer. Use a little less milk for thicker, spoonable oats, or a bit more for a creamier, softer consistency — both work beautifully.

Perfect for meal prep, quick mornings, or warmer days when you want something cool and refreshing.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:

Rolled Oats: The base of the recipe, providing fibre to help support digestion and fullness.

Milk: Adjust amount based on your preferred texture. Use less for thicker oats or more for a creamier consistency. Dairy or soy options provide the most protein.

Vanilla Protein Powder: Helps boost protein content to make the overnight oats more balanced and satisfying.

Mango Pulp/Purée: Adds sweetness, mango flavour, and vitamin C.

Chia Seeds: Helps thicken the oats while adding fibre and healthy fats.

Salt: Balances and enhances the flavour.

Cardamom (Optional): Adds warmth and pairs beautifully with mango.

Optional Toppings: Fresh mango, chopped nuts, granola, hemp seeds, or nut butter.

Kitchenware

You’ll also need:

Jar or airtight container
Measuring cups and spoons

Steps

Combine the ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add the oats, milk, protein powder, mango pulp, chia seeds, salt, and optional cardamom.
Mix well: Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly combined and the protein powder is fully incorporated. This helps prevent clumps and gives the oats a smoother texture.
Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
Stir and serve: In the morning, stir again and adjust the texture if needed. Add your favourite toppings and enjoy cold.

Tips & Notes

For thicker overnight oats: Use closer to 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp milk.
For a creamier, softer texture: Use up to 3/4 cup milk.
Too thick after soaking? Add a splash of milk before serving.
Too thin after soaking? Stir in a spoonful of yogurt, extra oats, or let sit a little longer.
For extra mango flavour: Top with fresh diced mango before serving.
Protein powder tip: Vanilla protein powder works especially well here because it complements the mango and gives a mango-lassi-inspired flavour.
