Featuring wholesome ingredients like rolled oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and fresh blueberries, this recipe offers a balanced and satisfying start to your day.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup blueberry Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup almond milk or dairy milk
  • Pinch of salt

Flavorings

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (about half a lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup blueberries, for topping

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a jar, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir them together to ensure even distribution.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients and Flavorings: Pour in the blueberry Greek yogurt, almond or dairy milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract (if using), and maple syrup (if using). Mix thoroughly to prevent chia seeds from clumping at the bottom.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
  4. Serve: Before eating, stir the mixture well. If you prefer a looser consistency, add a splash more milk. Top with fresh blueberries for an added burst of flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use dairy or plant-based milk according to your preference or dietary needs.
  • Maple syrup and vanilla extract are optional and can be adjusted or omitted depending on your sweetness preference.
  • Can be prepared the night before for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.
  • If you like, add nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.
  • Ensure to stir well before eating to combine any settled layers.
