Prepped in just 15 minutes, you’ve got balanced, filling breakfasts ready for the entire week!
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- Juice and zest of ½ lemon
- 2 cups quick oats
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ½ cup hemp hearts
- 2 ½ cups milk of choice
- 2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
- To a microwave safe bowl, add blueberries, lemon juice, and lemon zest and mix to combine. Microwave in 20 second increments until thawed but still cold, set aside.
- To a large bowl, add the oats, chia seeds, hemp hearts, milk, 1 ½ cups of the yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Whisk until well combined.
- Divide half of the oat mixture between 5 sealable jars or airtight containers, then layer ¾ of the blueberry mixture between them, followed by the remaining oat mixture. Finish by dividing the remaining yogurt and blueberry mixture on top.
- Place in the fridge to set overnight. These will keep for up to 5 days.
Notes
Layering vs. mixing all ingredients together: To simplify the process, skip the layering and add all of the Greek yogurt right into the oat mixture, divide the oat mixture between the jars, then top with the blueberry mixture.
Storage: If you don’t need individual servings, you can just mix the oats in one big sealable storage container to set and scoop out portions as needed. Store the blueberry mixture separately and top each serving when you’re ready to eat!
Yogurt: I usually make these with plain Greek yogurt but if you’re looking for something a bit sweeter, opt for vanilla!
Milk: I usually use 2% milk but any milk will work! For the highest protein option, opt for dairy, or soy milk for a plant-based version!
