Blueberry Vanilla Overnight Oats

Creamy, naturally colourful, and easy to prepare, these blueberry vanilla overnight oats make mornings a little simpler. Greek yogurt creates a smooth texture, vanilla complements the blueberry flavour, and freeze-dried blueberry powder adds a beautiful purple hue throughout.

Prepare everything the night before and enjoy a ready-to-eat breakfast the next morning.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Chill Time: At least 4 hours, preferably overnight
Servings: 1
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

½ cup (40 g) rolled oats

½ cup (125 mL) milk of choice

¼ cup (60 mL) plain Greek yogurt

2 teaspoons NatriHealth Freeze-Dried Blueberry Powder

1 teaspoon chia seeds

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)

A pinch of salt

Optional Toppings: Fresh blueberries, sliced banana, granola, or chopped almonds.

Instructions

Mix the wet ingredients. In a jar or bowl, combine the milk, Greek yogurt, blueberry powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Stir until smooth.

Add the oats. Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and salt until everything is evenly combined.

Refrigerate. Cover and chill for at least four hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.

Serve. Stir the oats, add a splash of milk if needed, and finish with your favourite toppings.

Tips for the Best Results

For a brighter flavour: Add a little freshly grated lemon zest to complement the blueberries.

For a creamier texture: Use thick plain Greek yogurt and adjust the milk to your preferred consistency.

For extra crunch: Add granola or nuts just before serving rather than leaving them in the mixture overnight.

Substitutions

Dairy-free: Replace milk and Greek yogurt with your preferred plant-based alternatives.

No chia seeds: Simply leave them out. The oats may be slightly less thick.

Less sweet: Skip the maple syrup and add fresh fruit for sweetness.

Storage

Store in a covered container in the refrigerator at 4°C (40°F) or below. For the best texture, enjoy within one to two days. Add crunchy toppings immediately before serving.
