- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Measure and combine oats and chia seeds in a mixing bowl and stir.
- Add Greek yogurt, milk, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir gently to blend.
- Add honey or maple syrup and adjust sweetness to taste.
- Add lemon zest and a pinch of salt, stirring to combine.
- Fold in blueberries gently to avoid crushing.

Notes
If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen. If too thin, add a spoonful of yogurt or oats and let sit for a few minutes. Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Thaw frozen blueberries slightly before mixing to avoid watery oats. Store in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge.
