Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old‐fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup Stonyfield Organic Whole Milk Greek Vanilla Bean Yogurt
- 1/3 cup Stonyfield Organic milk
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Fruit
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries plus extra for garnish
Toppings
- Sliced almonds
- Lemon zest
- Honey
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or bowl, stir together the oats, vanilla bean Greek yogurt, organic milk, chia seeds, lemon juice, and blueberries. Make sure all ingredients are mixed thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, then place it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
- Stir and Adjust Consistency: The next morning, remove the oats from the refrigerator. Stir in 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk to loosen the mixture if it seems too thick.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top the oats generously with extra fresh blueberries, sliced almonds, a sprinkle of lemon zest, and a drizzle of honey for added sweetness and texture. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh blueberries with frozen ones; just thaw slightly or add directly before refrigerating.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey according to your preference.
- For a vegan version, replace the yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives such as almond milk yogurt and almond milk.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them excellent for meal prepping.
- Feel free to add other toppings like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or coconut flakes for added nutrition.
