Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup large flake oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup plain or lemon Greek yogurt
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup blueberries fresh not frozen
  • 1/4 cup walnuts chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, yogurt and milk. Stir well.
  • Mix in the lemon zest and blueberries.
  • Cover and store the fridge for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight).
  • When ready to eat, stir in the walnuts and enjoy!

Notes

Add-ins (optional):
  • To add a little bit of crunch and protein: top with sliced almonds, chopped walnuts, hemp seeds or extra chia seeds
  • For extra creaminess: use a higher fat percentage Greek yogurt or milk
  • If you need some extra sweetness: drizzle a bit of maple syrup, honey or your choice of sweetener. Alternatively, you could also use a flavoured Greek yogurt. There are many brands that offer lemon-flavoured yogurt, which would allow you to skip the zest altogether.
  • To save time and energy: make a double or triple batch in a large bowl and just scoop and go in the morning. Work smarter, not harder!
