I’m (Fit, here) back again! Two posts in a row. Crazy, right? I know I’ve been off the blog for a while, but I thought I’d pop in a bit more to share some recipes. And today’s recipe is…Blueberry Overnight Oats! Overnight oats may seem like a trendy breakfast you’ll only find in Los Angeles, but there’s more to it than just the fad. Overnight oats is (are?) a timesaver. It’s a nice colder alternative to traditional oatmeal, especially nice in the warmer months. And you can get really creative with the ingredients you put inside.
We nicked this recipe from the lovely Fit Foodie Finds and made it our own. If you haven’t checked her out, head on over–lots of great recipes to find there. This overnight oats recipe is all about the blueberries! Though, again, overnight oats can be whatever you want to put in, as long as you have a liquid. It’s so incredibly easy to throw these ingredients together and enjoy them the next day in a nice chilled bowl!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Chill Time: Overnight
Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mash your blueberries (you can mash and mix it all in the tupperware you’re going to store it in).
- Add in yogurt and almond milk and mix until relatively smooth.
- Add in rest of ingredients and stir.

See? Pretty simple, very delicious. And you can start with overnight oats recipes and then start experimenting on your own. Have chia seeds? Throw ’em in! Maybe a different berry? Sure, why not! Get creative. Have fun. Put ingredients that you enjoy. Just make sure to have enough liquid (almond milk, oat milk, cow’s milk) for the oats to soak up. I’m about to try a new one with apples. Let us know how yours turns out. And as always, stay hungry and fit!
