Health benefits

Greek yoghurt increases the protein content and provides calcium, phosphorus and probiotics (depending on the yoghurt variety), supporting bone health, muscle maintenance and gut health.

Oats provide beta-glucan fibre, which has been associated with supporting healthy cholesterol levels and improving satiety. They also provide manganese, magnesium and B vitamins.

Mango provides vitamin C, vitamin A carotenoids and antioxidants that support immune function, skin health and protection against oxidative stress.

Coconut provides flavour and healthy fats, although coconut milk is calorie-dense and high in saturated fat, so portion size is important.
