02 - 1 cup milk, dairy or plant-based
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey

# Directions:
01 - In a medium bowl or jar, combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
02 - Gently fold in the blueberries to distribute evenly throughout the mixture without crushing the fruit.
03 - Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or containers for portioning.
04 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb liquid and soften while flavors develop and meld.
05 - In the morning, stir the oats thoroughly. Add a splash of milk if a looser consistency is desired.
06 - Top with toasted nuts, extra lemon zest, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve chilled.
