Ingredients

• milk of choice (I use unsweetened soy milk or 1% milk)
• lemon juice
• lemon zest
• lemon Greek yogurt
• chia seeds
• rolled oats
• fresh blueberries

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of your milk of choice, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of lemon zest (about 1 lemon), ½ cup lemon Greek yogurt, and 1 teaspoon of chia seeds until combined. Stir in 1 cup of rolled oats and ½ cup of blueberries.

Transfer oats to a bowl or jar with a resealable lid. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Pro Tips

• If you want a more intense lemon flavor, stir in ¼ teaspoon of lemon extract.
• You can also use frozen blueberries. They will change the color of the oats to a beautiful purple! Thaw them before mixing in if only chilling for 4 hours. You can use them frozen if you are enjoying the next day.
• For a new flavor, stir in a couple of teaspoons of chopped fresh basil before enjoying.

FAQs

How long do these overnight oats last?

If these oats are stored covered, in the refrigerator, they should last up to 3-4 days.

Can I eat these oats warm?

Yes! Warm them in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 second intervals until just warmed through. Heating too much can cause the yogurt to separate, which alters the taste and texture of the oats.

Can I make these vegan?

You can make these vegan-friendly by using your favorite plant-based milk and yogurt. If you can't find a lemon-flavored plant-based yogurt, add an extra teaspoon of lemon zest, and sweeten with a teaspoon or two of maple syrup or agave.
