This week, I’m super excited to bring a slice of our latest recipe book magic straight to your kitchen. If you’re anything like me, balancing the hustle of daily life while trying to make healthier choices can sometimes feel like juggling with too many balls in the air. But, here’s a little secret: It doesn’t have to be so complicated.

I’ve been there, standing bewildered in the kitchen at the break of dawn or after a long day, craving something nourishing yet simple to whip up. That’s why I’m thrilled to share one of my absolute go-to recipes from our newest collection on the membership site – the Creamy Protein Mango Oatmeal.

The Story Behind the Spoon

Let me take you back to where this recipe began – in my tiny kitchen, amidst my quest for making wellness both accessible and delicious. I remember thinking, “Why can’t nutritious be synonymous with heart-warming and tasty?” That’s when the mangoes on my counter caught my eye, and the rest, as they say, is breakfast history.

This recipe isn’t just food for the body; it’s food for the soul – capturing the essence of our shared journey towards healthier living. It’s about starting the day with intention, treating ourselves with care, and indulging in the joy of flavors that feed our spirit and our goals.

How to Whip Up This Dreamy Dish

So, without further ado, here are the magical ingredients that make this dish a true game-changer in your morning routine:

• 1.4 oz. (40g) rolled oats: The heart and soul of our oatmeal, bringing that perfect texture and slow-releasing energy to kickstart our day.
• ½ tsp. chia seeds: Tiny but mighty, these little wonders pack a punch of fiber and omega-3s.
• 0.7 oz. (20g) coconut flakes, plus extra to serve: For that tropical twist, adding both flavor and a lovely crunch. Don’t forget to sprinkle a little extra on top because, let’s face it, more is more when it comes to coconut!
• 8 fl oz. (240ml) oat milk, plus more if needed: Creamy and utterly dreamy, making our oatmeal silk-smooth. Feel free to adjust the amount to get your perfect consistency.
• 2.3 oz. (65g) mango puree, divided: This, my friends, is where the magic happens. Sweet, vibrant mango puree not only elevates the taste but also invites a bit of summer sunrise into your bowl.
• 1 tsp. maple syrup, plus extra to serve: Because a little sweetness makes the world go round. Drizzle as much as your heart desires.
• 1 oz. (30g) vanilla whey protein powder: Here’s to power-packed mornings! Adding a scoop of protein not only helps with muscle repair and growth but also keeps you fuller for longer. Feel free to substitute with a vegan protein powder as well!

Imagine combining the creamy goodness of oats with the tropical twist of mangoes, all jazzed up with protein to keep those muscle-building and repair engines happy. Here’s a quick how-to that’s as easy as pie (or, in this case, oatmeal!):

1. Stir together the oats, chia seeds, coconut flakes, and oat milk over medium heat, simmering to that perfect, creamy consistency we all love.
2. Fold in half the mango puree, a little maple syrup for sweetness, and a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder to give your morning that extra kick-start.
3. Add a bit more milk if you like it on the thinner side, then serve it up with a drizzle of syrup, the rest of the mango puree, and a sprinkle of coconut flakes.

And there you have it! A bowl full of creamy, mango-y goodness ready to make your mornings brighter and your body thankful.

Let’s Dish

Now, let me tell you, the first time I mixed these ingredients together, it felt like I was conjuring up a potion. And truth be told, it kind of is – a potion to start your day right, fuel your body, and treat your taste buds.

So, as you gather these ingredients and set off on your culinary adventure, remember, it’s all about having fun and making it your own. Got a different fruit or milk preference? Swap it in! Allergic to nuts or seeds? Leave them out!
