Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk (or almond milk)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • Fresh berries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, Greek yogurt, milk, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed and the texture is creamy.
  2. Portion into Containers: Divide the oat mixture evenly into jars or individual containers, making sure each portion is well packed but leaves room at the top for expansion.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the containers tightly with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate them overnight, allowing the oats to soak and flavors to meld for at least 6 to 8 hours.
  4. Serve with Toppings: In the morning, stir the oats gently to combine. Add fresh berries on top as an optional garnish for added flavor and nutrition before serving.

  • For extra texture, consider adding nuts or seeds such as almonds or chia seeds at the time of serving.
  • This recipe can be prepared multiple days in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
