Tropical Overnight Oats
Flavours of tropical Southeast Asia infuse this super-simple breakfast – a couple of mins to prepare it in the evening and breakfast is a cinch in the morning. Adding chia to oats boosts the nutritional content. If you can’t get makrut lime leaves, don’t worry – they’re not essential but they add a lovely citrus note to the oats. You can make these in jars or containers with lids to take to the office or school.
Ingredients
For the porridge:
400ml coconut milk
3 tsp coconut sugar
2 makrut lime leaves
2 Tbsp black or white chia seeds
½ cup Ceres Wholegrain Quick Cook Oats

½ mango, diced
½ dragon fruit, sliced
¼ cup Kokonati coconut thread, toasted

In a bowl, combine the chia seeds, and oats then spoon them evenly into your chosen two serving dishes or jars. Pour coconut milk mixture evenly into serving dishes and stir it in carefully to combine and avoid any clumps of dry ingredients. Cover and refrigerate overnight
