Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to taste)

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for added texture)

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen if out of season)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Additional toppings: sliced almonds, crushed walnuts, or more blueberries

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl or a large jar, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds (if using), lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

    Incorporate the Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

      Combine & Store: Transfer the mixture into individual jars or leave it in a large container. Seal the jars tightly or cover the container with a lid.

        Chill Overnight: Place the jars or container in the refrigerator and let them sit overnight (or at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors meld together.

          Serve & Enjoy: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of almond milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with additional blueberries, sliced almonds, or crushed walnuts for added texture and flavor.
