Ingredients for Tropical Overnight Oats
  • Rolled oats.
  • Flax seeds. Not only do flax seeds provide great additional fiber and healthy fats, but they also help the overnight oats thicken up.
  • Low-fat coconut milk. Coconut milk is naturally high in fat, so find a lite or lower fat coconut milk to keep the meal lower in calories. I love using the coconut creamer from Trader Joe’s.
  • Vanilla.
  • Cinnamon.
  • Pineapple and mango chunks. Fresh, frozen or even canned will work. Just make sure they are unsweetened.
  • Mashed banana. A great way of adding a whole food sweetness to the oats.
Topping Ideas
  • Toasted chopped almonds. Adding just a small sprinkle of toasted chopped almonds will give the oats a great rich nutty bite.
  • Hemp seeds. While they are slightly higher in fat, they are a great source of plant-protein and omega 3s.
  • Splash of plant milk.
  • Fresh or frozen fruit. Any fruit will do, but to keep the tropical theme going, pineapple, mango, passionfruit and kiwis are a great choice.
  • Unsweetened coconut flakes. Again, higher in fat but if used in small quanties they add a lot of flavor.
