An overnight oats recipe in collaboration with Nutri-Brex 5 Ways Gluten Free Granola.
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. My absolute favourite, number one go-to breakfast is a serving of granola on some plain, natural yoghurt, with plenty of fresh fruit. It’s quick, easy and nutritious, especially if it’s a lower sugar, gluten-free granola like one from the Nutri-Brex range.
Did you know that today (Monday 25th September 2017) is Better Breakfast Day? What better reason to celebrate than to jazz up your breakfast with this simple coconut and mango breakfast parfait (which is just a posh way of saying overnight oats, by the way!).
Inspired by the flavours of the Caribbean, this breakfast parfait is made with coconut yoghurt with some Hazelnut, Coconut & Quinoa gluten-free granola by Nutri-Brex stirred into it. I’ve layered the parfait with some more granola for extra texture, and some fresh mango puree which gives it a delicious, naturally sweet flavour. I’ve topped mine with some coconut shavings for extra flavour and texture, but you could always just finish off with more fresh fruit and a sprinkling of granola.
NUTRI-BREX GLUTEN-FREE GRANOLA
Nutri-Brex is an award-winning gluten-free brand who have recently expanded their range to include 5 Ways Granola. Their hazelnut, coconut and quinoa variety, which I’ve used in my recipe, features hazelnut pieces, flaked quinoa and toasted coconut as well as fine-cut oats, a perfect pairing for a coconut and mango breakfast parfait.
Nutri-Brex granola can be used in a minimum of five different ways:
- GRANOLA: serve Nutri-Brex with milk or yoghurt for a traditional crunchy granola breakfast
- PORRIDGE: simply add milk and microwave or cook on the hob for a delicious hot breakfast on these cold Autumn mornings
- TOPPING: sprinkle over your favourite fruit, or even over some peanut butter and gluten-free toast
- BIRCHER: mix with yoghurt, grated apple, a splash of apple juice and some milk and leave overnight for a delicious breakfast in the morning
- SMOOTHIE: blend with your favourite fruit, ice and a dollop of natural yoghurt for a fast and filling start to the day
Nutri-Brex have launched a 5 Ways Challenge to see what sort of recipes folk can come up with using their gluten-free 5 Ways Granola products. So, I’ve come up with five different recipes I’ll be sharing with you this week, each featuring either their Hazelnut, Coconut and Quinoa Granola or their Honey, Almonds & Seeds Granola. I hope you will be inspired!
You can find Nutri-Brex 5 Ways Granola on their online shop for only £3.49 for 400 grams. Follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for more recipe inspiration too – a better breakfast needn’t be a dull breakfast! If you’ve made something with one of their products let them know!

Charlie Mace says
I adore the Nutribrex Coconut & Crispy Rice weetabix type things, they’re so delicious and the kids love them too – so I was really interested when I saw this recipe uses a Nutribrex product – oh my – they look DELICIOUS – I can just imagine the combination of mango puree (yes!) and coconut yoghurt – such a summery/tropical flavour combination, it has to be a winner. Plus, they look STUNNING and I’m a sucker for a pretty breakfast. Lovely post! Charlie x

I’m a huge fan of overnight oats and I normally make them with raspberries or blueberries. I love mango though so I can’t wait to try this. Such a filling and yummy breakfast!
Helen says
I had no idea parfait was over night oats! This looks and sounds amazing. It looks so pretty too, the mango purée gives it such a pop of colour.

Those look delish I could eat them for every breakfast. I could replace the mango with other fruits for a different flavor I guess.

I did NOT know that the 25th was Better Breakfast Day! But it definitely doesn’t get much better than mango & coconut, unless you add the crunch factor of a good granola! Yum!
Dannii says
Such beautiful layers in this and a great way to use granola. I am going to give it a try if I can find a nice ripe mango.
Ginny McMeans says

Liz @ I Heart Vegetables says
I love coconut and mango together! Lately I’ve been enjoying them in a smoothie together but now I think I’ll have to try them in a parfait!
Joanna says
This is more like a delicious treat rather then breakfast. It’s great that it is delicious but healthy in the same time. Gluten free is also the way to go, especially for people who have troubles digesting it.
Vanessa says
Oh gosh Mango!! Love it! x
