I'm a human being on planet earth. I've lived hundreds of lifetimes. In this incarnation I'm here to advance medicine.

The weather here in New England has turned decidedly dreary – overcast, rainy, cold – and I’ve found myself torn between winter comfort food and lighter spring fare.

On the one side, I crave steaming soup and hot oatmeal whereas on the opposing side I long for fresh berries and cold overnight oatmeal.

Coconut & Mango Oats Parfait

The latter side won out with this recipe.

Despite morning temperatures hovering in the 40s, I couldn’t get the idea of chilled overnight oats out of my head.

Tropical flavors – specifically mango and coconut – shine in this satisfying breakfast that is served parfait-style.

Rolled oats are soaked overnight in creamy coconut milk and thick Greek yogurt, and then layered with sweet mango-banana soft serve & crunchy toasted coconut flakes.

Sure, I might have eaten the parfait while huddled beneath a warm blanket, but I enjoyed it despite the gloomy weather.

I’ll be making this throughout the summer months, for sure!
