Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a wide-mouth mason jar or a small resealable container, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Pour in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Use a spoon to stir the mixture thoroughly, ensuring the chia seeds are well-distributed and no dry pockets of oats remain at the bottom of the jar.
- Add the fresh lemon zest and lemon juice to the oat mixture. Stir again to infuse the citrus flavor throughout the base. Gently fold in the blueberries. If you are using fresh berries, be careful not to crush them; if using frozen, they may bleed slightly and turn the oats a beautiful purple hue, which is perfectly fine.
- Seal the container tightly with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 4 hours, though overnight (8 hours) is ideal for the best texture. In the morning, give the oats a quick stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it. Top with extra lemon zest and fresh berries before serving cold.
