Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added fiber and omega-3s)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds (or any nuts of your choice)
- A pinch of salt (optional, to balance the sweetness)
Instructions
In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, chia seeds (if using), and honey or maple syrup (if desired). Stir everything together until well combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Seal the jar or container and refrigerate it overnight (or for at least 4 hours). The oats will soak up the liquid, and the chia seeds will help thicken the mixture, creating a creamy, pudding-like texture.
- The next morning, stir the oats to combine and top with sliced almonds (or your favorite nuts). You can also add more fresh blueberries or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
- Enjoy your creamy, nutritious Blueberry Overnight Oats with Greek Yogurt & Almonds right away for a quick, satisfying breakfast!
Notes
- This recipe is highly customizable. Swap blueberries for other fruits, or add seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds for extra crunch.
- For a vegan option, use dairy-free yogurt and plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.
- If you prefer sweeter oats, feel free to add more honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit.
- For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the mixture.
