How to Make High-Protein Lemon Blueberry Overnight Oats

Okay, gather ’round, because this is seriously the easiest thing you’ll make all week. Promise!

1. First things first: Grab a jar or container (I use a mason jar ’cause they’re cute!). Dump in your 1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. Get all those dry ingredients cozy together.

2. Now for the creamy goodness! Pour in 1/2 cup of milk, add 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, and squeeze in that 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir it ALL up really well. Make sure everything is mixed and there are no weird clumps of protein powder lurking at the bottom. (Trust me, nobody wants a protein powder surprise!)

3. Time for the blueberries! Gently fold in 1/4 cup of blueberries. If you’re using frozen, they might bleed a little, but don’t worry, it’ll still taste amazing. Folding them in gently keeps the oats from turning totally blue… unless you’re into that, then go wild!

4. Here’s the hard part… waiting! Cover your jar or container and pop it into the fridge. Let it chill out overnight – at least six hours, but longer is better. This is when the magic happens. The oats soak up all the liquid, the flavors meld together, and you wake up to a breakfast that’s ready to rock. Wanna check out another recipe? Here’s another high-protein overnight oats recipe!
