Mango Lassi Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are a wonderful breakfast to prepare in advance for those busy mornings. You can make a big batch on a Sunday and they’ll keep for a good five days in the fridge. The flavour of sweet juicy mango combined with the creamy yoghurt and oat mixture is a treat for the tastebuds, while offering some impressive nutritional benefits.

Oats contain a type of soluble fibre called beta-glucan which is brilliant for gut health and may help reduce cholesterol levels and support heart health too. Mango contains a digestive enzyme called amylase, which helps break down carbohydrates, as well as polyphenols and fibre to nourish the gut microbiome.
