Notes
Adjust sweetness to your preference. Mango can sometimes be really sweet and flavorful on it’s own. If it isn’t, feel free to add more sweetener to your oats so they match your preference.
For more protein try a higher protein milk like soy milk or pea protein milk with some hemp hearts added to your blended milk. You can also try adding protein powder and adjust the thickness of the mango milk to your preference with extra milk or water.
Adjust the thickness of your oats to your liking. If you prefer your oats to be thinner, stir in a little more milk before serving.
Add fruit right before serving. This will keep the fruit fresh and prevent it from going bad while it sits in the oats.
To enhance the absorption of the antioxidant curcumin from turmeric, add a tiny pinch of black pepper to the mango milk. This small amount of black pepper should be undetectable in taste, but will enhance the absorption of this antioxidant exponentially.
