- .5 cups almond milk
- .5 cups blueberries
- 1 oz walnuts (14 halves
This recipe is flexible! You can substitute rolled oats with other varieties, just be sure to adjust the cooking time based on the thickness and density of the oats you choose. Don’t love blueberries? Feel free to swap them out for your favorite fruit! Likewise, if walnuts aren’t your thing, pick another nut you enjoy. The nuts add healthy fats to the meal, but you can customize them to your preference.

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Combine equal parts of old-fashion rolled oats and liquid such as almond milk, milk, or other milk alternatives. For richer creamier results add equal parts oats, milk, and half part yogurt. Fruit and nuts maybe added at this time, but depending on their weights they may sink to the bottom of the container. The fruit and nuts may be added in Step 3 to appear on top.
Step 2
Cover and chill overnight 8 – 12 hours. The time will determine the texture of the oats. Longer times will allow the oats to soften.
Step 3
Enjoy the next morning or store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If fruit and nuts were not added in step 1 you may sprinkle them on top.
