Servings 1 serving

Rolled oats, Greek yogurt, blueberries and lemon zest with a little protein powder, soaked overnight in a jar. Top with granola or nut butter before eating.

Ingredients

½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 Tablespoon vanilla protein powder
½–1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt or vegan yogurt
¾ cup non-dairy milk such as almond milk
pinch of salt
½ teaspoon maple syrup
¼ cup blueberries plus more for topping
Toppings of choice: granola, blueberries, nut butter

Directions

Put the oats, milk, yogurt, protein powder, maple syrup, chia seeds, blueberries, lemon zest, and salt in a jar or lidded container and stir.
Chill overnight; if you are short on time, soaking for 2–4 hours will do.
The next morning, give it a good stir. If it is too thick, loosen it with a little more milk. Add toppings and eat from the jar or a bowl.

Notes

Prep 10 minutes, soak 8 hours. Sealed and airtight in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
