Ingredients

Zest from 1 medium lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt such as FAGE Total or Chobani Plain

1 1/4 cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice

1 to 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1/4 teaspoon alcohol free vanilla flavor such as Alcohol Free Simply Organic or Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Blueberry jam optional

Granola for topping

Extra lemon zest

Extra blueberries

Instructions

2. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, yogurt, milk, maple syrup, almond extract, and alcohol free vanilla flavor to a medium bowl and whisk until smooth.

3. Stir in the chia seeds and rolled oats until fully combined.

4. Fold in the blueberries gently.

5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

6. Divide the mixture into jars and add optional layers of blueberry jam or extra berries.

7. Top with granola, lemon zest, and more blueberries before serving.

Notes

For a dairy free version, use your preferred dairy free yogurt and dairy free milk.

If using vanilla yogurt, sweetness may be enough without additional maple syrup.

Fresh blueberries hold their shape while frozen berries create a purple tint.

Add toppings only when serving to keep granola crisp.
