Recipe by Lindsay Funston Cooking the oatmeal in coconut milk gives this bowl a subtly sweet flavor and extra-creamy texture. Topped with mango and toasted coconut flakes, each bite gets you one step closer to the Tropics.

Ingredients

Servings 1

1/2 c. coconut milk or crema de coco
1 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
2 tbsp. unsweetened coconut flakes
1/3 c. chopped mango (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring milk to a boil. Stir in oats and salt, reduce heat to low, and simmer until oats are tender and creamy, 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small dry skillet over low heat, toast coconut flakes until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
Top oatmeal with coconut flakes and mango.

Why this Tropical Oatmeal with Coconut and Mango works for PCOS

Eating a substantial breakfast like this Tropical Oatmeal with Coconut and Mango is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make for PCOS. In the Jakubowicz et al. 2013 trial published in Clinical Science, women with PCOS who front-loaded calories to breakfast reduced fasting insulin by 56% and increased ovulation rates 50%, with no change in total calories. Front-loading works because insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning and lowest at night.
