FITNESS RECIPE Mango Ube Oats

Prep time: 10 mins (+4 hours or overnight chill time) Servings: 2 Calories: ~380 per serving

Ingredients

The Oats Base

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for extra creaminess)

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)

The Ube Cream Top Layer

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)

  • 2 tbsp ube halaya (ube purple yam jam) or 1 tsp ube extract

  • Alternative Protein Boost: ½ scoop vanilla protein powder (omit extract if using)

The Toppings

  • 1 ripe mango, diced or sliced

  • 1 tsp black chia seeds (for sprinkling)

  • Fresh mint leaves (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oats Base: In a medium bowl or a large sealable jar (like a 32oz mason jar), combine the rolled oats, almond milk, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using). Stir well to ensure the chia seeds don't clump.

  2. Initial Chill: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until the oats have absorbed the liquid and thickened.

  3. Create the Ube Cream Layer: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and ube jam (or extract) until smooth and uniformly purple. If you are using protein powder instead of ube jam, mix it thoroughly into the yogurt at this step.

  4. Assemble the Mango Ube Oats:

    • Give the chilled oats base a good stir. Divide the mixture evenly between two bowls.

    • Carefully spoon the Ube Cream mixture over the top of the oats, spreading it gently to create a smooth, distinct layer.

  5. Add Final Toppings: Arrange the fresh mango (diced or sliced) alongside the ube cream, as shown in the image.

  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the black chia seeds over the ube layer. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf if desired. Serve immediately, chilled.
