*Everybody raises hand*

SAME.

What fruit makes you think of summer most? For me it’s all the berries, coconut, bananas (though that’s a year round for me, let’s be real), mango, and pineapple. Am I missing any? Probably. There’s just too much good fruit, which is a good problem to have, in my opinion.

Ingredients for vegan tropical overnight oats

• Banana: make sure your banana is super ripe and spotty, for optimal sweetness and banana flavor.
• Rolled oats: I always use old-fashioned, whole grain rolled oats because they have the best texture and chew.
• Ground flaxseed: ground flax provides a lot of nutrition, including omega-3s. It helps to give the oats a nice thick texture.
• Nondairy milk: you’ll soak the oat mixture in some nondairy milk overnight (or for a few hours). I like unsweetened almond milk for neutral flavor, but any nondairy milk works.
• Frozen mango: thawed frozen (or fresh) mango gives the oats amazing, tropical sweetness.
• Coconut: unsweetened shredded coconut gives the oats great chewy texture and more tropical flavor.

Tips for making vegan tropical overnight oats

• Add a splash of milk before serving to get a texture you like. I typically don’t add more liquid at this stage because I like my oats VERY thick, but feel free to add a bit more milk to get the texture you prefer.
• Have fun with the toppings. In addition to the mango and coconut, feel free to add any other toppings you like on oats! A drizzle of unsweetened vegan yogurt or nut butter would be great, too.

Seriously the easiest, most perfect breakfast for summer.
