Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Oat Base
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats Old fashioned rolled oats give the best texture.
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice Dairy, almond, or oat milk work well.
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt Use plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds Optional for additional texture.
  • 1/2 cup blueberries Fresh or frozen can be used.
  • 1/2 piece lemon zest Yields the best lemon flavor.
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons lemon juice Adjust to taste.
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup For sweetness.
  • a pinch salt Enhances flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grab a jar or container with a lid.
  2. Stir together the oats, chia seeds (if using), milk, yogurt, sweetener, and a tiny pinch of salt.
  3. Mix in the lemon zest and lemon juice and adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Fold in the blueberries gently.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir, add a splash of milk if needed, and top with more blueberries.

Notes

Keep toppings separate to avoid sogginess. The texture improves overnight, and you can adjust flavors the next morning.
