INGREDIENTS

½ cup organic or wheat-free oats

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 cup almond milk, coconut milk

or filtered water, plus extra

milk if needed

½ tsp ground cinnamon

pinch of Celtic sea salt

FOR THE TOPPING

½ mango, sliced

1 tbsp desiccated coconut

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tbsp finely grated lemon zest

2 heaped tbsp Greek-style

Reduce the heat to medium

maple syrup, lemon zest and

yoghurt. Finish with a dusting

of cinnamon and, if desired, a

handful of flaked almonds.
