Ingredients
Base Mixture
- 1 cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
- 1 cup canned light coconut milk (or coconut milk drink)
- ½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for vegan option)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 ½–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- Zest of 1 fresh lime (approx. 1 tsp)
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of fine sea salt
Optional Toppings
- 2 tbsp toasted unsweetened shredded coconut or coconut chips
- Fresh lime slices for garnish
- Fresh mango, pineapple, or kiwi chunks
Instructions
- Mix Liquids & Aromatics: In a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the coconut milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, lime zest, lime juice, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats and chia seeds. Stir thoroughly to ensure all oats are submerged and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Jar & Chill: Divide the mixture evenly between two 8-oz glass jars or airtight containers. Seal with lids and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Garnish & Serve: Before serving, give the oats a quick stir. Top with toasted shredded coconut, fresh fruit, and an extra pinch of lime zest if desired. Enjoy cold!
Notes
- Meal Prep: Keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
- Pro Tip: Toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes until light golden for maximum flavor and crunch.
