Versatile overnight oats!

Overnight oatmeal

One of the best things about overnight oats is how easy they are to customize! Whether you need them to be vegan, gluten-free, or lower in sugar, the swaps are simple and require no extra effort.

Ingredients
  

  • cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • ½ cup Rolled Oats heaping
  • cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • ½ cup Blueberries fresh or frozen, see notes
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds or ground flax meal
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • add pinch Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup or honey

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together all ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Spoon into a pint or half-liter jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Close and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, before eating.

Notes

If you go the frozen route, you will want to back off on the added milk just a touch—by about a tablespoon—since the fruit will release some liquid as it defrosts.
