Blueberry Overnight Oats
Blueberry Overnight Oats
This is my go-to breakfast, for a few reasons:
- Because I prepare it ahead-of-time, there is no scramble in the morning.
- Because it’s so easy to make, I do up 5 individual mason jars at once for my Monday-Friday breakfasts
- Because of the complex carbs, I have sustainable fuel for my morning workout.
- Because this recipe is fully customizable (use raspberries or apples...add maple or cinnamon…add a few tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt…)
- Because it’s delicious!
INGREDIENTS:
- ½ cup rolled oats (I use gluten-free as my body tolerates it better)
- 2/3 cup almond milk (I use unsweetened, but you could use sweetened)
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries
- Few shreds of fresh lemon peel (optional, but I just love how it brightens it up)
DIRECTIONS:
- Add all ingredients to a mason jar and give it a stir or shake to combine
- Cover tightly and chill.
- Serve with extra blueberries if desired, or my favourite option: a few toasted pecans. Oh my!
