Blended Mango Chia Overnight Oats
These blended overnight oats are a creamy, mango-packed breakfast that you prep in minutes and let the fridge do the work overnight. A little turmeric adds a beautiful golden colour and subtle warmth, while a layer of melted dark chocolate sets into a crisp shell on top. They feel more like dessert than breakfast, but are still full of fibre, healthy fats, and plant-based goodness.
Takes 4 hours 10 minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 200 g 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 250 ml 1 cup plant-based milk
- 225 g 1½ cups frozen mango
- 50 ml / 2–3 tbsp maple syrup to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric

Chocolate topping:
- 80 –100g dark chocolate
- 1 tsp coconut oil optional, helps it snap nicely

Instructions
Blend:
- Add all oat ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Chill:
- Pour evenly into 2 jars or containers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. It will thicken up nicely.
Make the chocolate shell:
- Melt the chocolate gently (microwave in short bursts or over a bain-marie).
Stir in the coconut oil if using.
- Let it cool slightly (so it’s not piping hot).
Create the shell:
- Pour a thin layer of melted chocolate over each jar.
- Tilt or swirl to spread evenly across the top.
- Place in the fridge for approx. 10 minutes until it hardens into a shell.
To serve:
- Crack the chocolate layer with a spoon and dig in.
