Blueberry Overnight Oats

Overnight oats have been a longtime breakfast favorite of mine — they’re great for meal prep, easy, customizable, and nutritious.

These ones are flavored with blueberry milk — frozen blueberries, milk of choice, vanilla, and plain Greek yogurt all blended together and poured over the oat mixture.

The nutrition highlights:

• oats: loaded with fiber that promotes stable blood sugar levels, reduces cholesterol, and feeds the good-for-you bacteria in your gut

• chia seeds: fiber, protein, and healthy fats

• greek yogurt: protein, calcium, probiotics and creamy texture

• blueberries: antioxidants and fiber

The blueberries add the sweetness so there’s no additional sweetener, but you can easily blend in a little maple syrup if desired.
