Mango Overnight Oats

Dry mouth is a common side effect during cancer treatment. Individuals who have dry mouth symptoms and are having difficulty swallowing should choose soft foods—for example, foods like oatmeal, yogurt, smoothie, etc. For today’s recipe, I made an easy grab and go breakfast. This mango overnight oat recipe is ideal for cancer patients with symptoms of dry mouth and have difficulty swallowing. Specifically, overnight oats are soft and easy to swallow. Additionally, the tartness of Greek Yogurt can stimulate the flow of saliva and prevent dry mouth.
