Instructions
For the blueberry compote
- In a small saucepan, add the frozen blueberries, lemon juice, lemon zest, and maple syrup.
- Heat over medium heat until blueberries melt, then bring to a boil.
- Let the blueberries simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the blueberries have broken down and the mixture has thickened.
- Set aside to cool.
For the oats
- Add lemon juice and lemon zest to the bottom of the jar.
- Then add the oats, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
- Add the Greek yogurt and maple syrup.
- Pour the protein shake (or milk) into the jar. Stir to combine, or put the lid on the jar and shake to combine.
- Let the oats sit in the fridge overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
- Once you are ready to eat or the oats have set up in the fridge, top with blueberry compote and more lemon zest. Enjoy!
Notes
If you are letting the oats sit in the fridge for longer than one night, add 2-3 more tablespoons of milk.
These overnight oats are best when eaten within 3 days of being prepared.
