Description
A delicious and healthy overnight oats recipe with blueberries, chia seeds, and a hint of lemon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop (about 25g) vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or a large mason jar, whisk together the almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, lemon zest, lemon juice, and maple syrup until smooth.
- Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries gently, reserving a few for topping if you like.
- Seal the jar or cover the bowl, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to let the oats soften and the flavors meld.
- Give the oats a good stir, add any reserved blueberries on top, and enjoy cold. If desired, add extra lemon zest or a dollop of yogurt for serving.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, allow oats to soak overnight.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
