Description
A really colourful and delicious recipe for breakfast, lunch or even dessert. The sweetness of the mangoes are a great counterfoil to the tart blackcurrants. Not usually on ‘superfoods’ lists, blackcurrants are unsung nutritional heros with more antioxidant power than blueberries. Use canned ones in juice, frozen or fresh if you can get them. It works really well with overripe mangoes, if not add some extra fruit juice. There needs to be about twice the volume of liquid to oats. Make the night before if you are organised or in the morning to have at lunchtime.
