Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (45g)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (120ml)
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla (60g)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- ½ cup fresh blueberries (75g)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the lemon zest and juice using a microplane to zest about one teaspoon of lemon peel, avoiding the white pith. Squeeze about one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice from half a lemon.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk, Greek yogurt, almond butter, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth.
- Stir in rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), and lemon zest into the wet mixture.
- Gently fold in fresh blueberries, being careful not to mash them.
- Spoon the mixture into glass jars or airtight containers, leaving space at the top. Seal tightly.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight (8 hours) for best texture and flavor.
- Next morning, stir the oats before eating. Add extra blueberries or a drizzle of almond butter on top if desired. Serve cold or at room temperature.
Notes
Blend almond butter first with liquids to avoid clumping and achieve a smooth texture. Avoid the white pith when zesting lemon to prevent bitterness. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Do not soak oats more than 12 hours to avoid mushy texture. Gently fold blueberries to keep them whole. Add extra almond milk in the morning if oats are too thick. Variations include swapping fruits, nut butters, or adding protein powder.
