Hello, breakfast enthusiasts and flavor seekers! Today, I’m bringing you a breakfast experience that’s nothing short of magical – my Spring Lemon and Blueberry Overnight Oats. As the seasons change and spring fills the air with its lively spirit, there’s no better way to celebrate than with a breakfast that’s as colorful and uplifting as the season itself!
Now that we’ve met our star-studded cast of ingredients, it’s time to embark on the journey of creating this breakfast masterpiece. Prepare your mixing bowl, your appetite, and get ready for the most beautiful bowl you’ve ever made yourself for breakfast!
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of oats, 1 1/2 tablespoons of chia seeds, 3/4 cup of plant-based yogurt, half a mashed banana, 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla, 1 cup of frozen wild blueberries, the juice of half a lemon, the zest of half a lemon, and 3/4 cup of plant milk. These ingredients come together like old friends reuniting after a long winter, creating a symphony of flavors and textures that will dance on your taste buds.
Mix thoroughly to ensure that every oat is coated in this heavenly mixture. As you stir, you’ll notice the vibrant colors and the fresh aroma of lemon filling the air – it’s a preview of the delightful breakfast that awaits!
If you’re preparing multiple servings or want to have your breakfast ready to go for the next few days, now is the time to plan ahead. Transfer this luscious mixture into two airtight glass jars or containers. Seal them tightly and let them take a well-deserved rest in your refrigerator overnight.
This step is where the magic happens. As the oats, chia seeds, and fruits mingle with the creamy yogurt and zesty lemon, they form bonds of deliciousness. By morning, you’ll have a breakfast that’s not only convenient but bursting with flavor!
Here comes the fun part – the toppings that elevate this dish from a delightful breakfast to a work of art but are also totally customizable.
I opted to use macadamia coconut nut butter, a sprinkle of chopped pistachios for a satisfying crunch, a handful of fresh blueberries, and last but not least the lemon.
*These lemon slices not only enhance the presentation but also add a bright, citrusy zing to your oats!
With your masterpiece complete, it’s time for the grand finale – the moment you’ve been waiting for. Grab your spoon and dive into the symphony of flavors, textures, and colors that is your Spring Lemon and Blueberry Overnight Oats!
As you take that first spoonful, you’ll experience the perfect blend of creamy oats, zesty lemon, sweet blueberries, and the satisfying crunch of nuts. I hope you all enjoy!
