Ingredients
Overnight Oats Mixture
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk
- ¼ cup full fat plain Greek yogurt or vegan yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup fresh raspberries (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, add the rolled oats, almond or oat milk, Greek or vegan yogurt, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, lemon zest, and pure maple syrup. Stir these ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Gently Add Raspberries: Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries to the mixture to avoid breaking them apart, ensuring an even distribution throughout the oats.
- Soak Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften. If you’re short on time, a minimum soak of 2-4 hours can work but the texture will be less creamy.
- Stir and Adjust Consistency: When ready to serve, remove the container from the fridge and stir the oats well. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of almond or oat milk to loosen it to your desired consistency.
- Serve with Toppings: Garnish with additional fresh raspberries on top for extra flavor and an appealing presentation before enjoying your healthy breakfast.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and protein powder.
- Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing the maple syrup based on your preference.
- Can be prepared in advance for up to 2 days and stored refrigerated.
- For extra crunch, add nuts or seeds as a topping just before serving.
- Ensure to use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor, avoiding the bitter white pith.
