In a mixing bowl, start by adding the almond milk and Greek yogurt. The yogurt brings a creaminess that’s irresistible. Next, squeeze in the fresh lemon juice and add the zest. This is where the flavor magic happens. Toss in maple syrup, vanilla essence, and almond essence. Stir well until everything is nicely combined.

Once your wet ingredients are ready, it’s time to introduce the dry ingredients. Pour in the old-fashioned rolled oats and chia seeds. The chia seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients and contribute to the creamy consistency. Mix everything until the oats are fully coated in the wet mixture.

Gently fold in the blueberries, whether fresh or frozen. If using frozen, don’t worry—this will create a fun purple hue as they thaw overnight. Be careful not to mash them; you want to retain those beautiful berry pieces for texture.

Divide the mixture into jars or containers with lids. This part is crucial: cover the jars tightly and place them in the refrigerator. Allow these oats to soak overnight. The oats will absorb the liquid and transform into a creamy delight by morning.

In the morning, take them out of the fridge and give them a good stir. Top with chopped walnuts, honey, lemon zest, and any additional toppings you fancy, such as more blueberries or granola. Dig in!
