Lemon Berry Sunrise Overnight Oats

These layered overnight oats are bright, creamy, and packed with fresh berry flavor in every spoonful. The bottom lemon curd oat layer brings a rich citrusy sweetness, the middle raspberry lemon yogurt layer is smooth and tangy, and the fresh blueberry oat topping adds the perfect burst of freshness. It tastes like a cross between a lemon berry parfait and a chilled spring dessert, while still being filling enough for breakfast.

Serving Size: Two jars

Ingredients

Lemon Oat Layer

• 1 cup rolled oats

• 1 cup coconut milk

• 2 tbsp chia seeds

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

• 2 tbsp lemon curd

Raspberry Lemon Yogurt Layer

• 6 ounce container raspberries

• 5.3 ounce container greek lemon yogurt

Blueberry Oat Layer

• ⅓ cup blueberries

• ½ cup coconut milk

• ½ cup rolled oats

• 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder

Directions

1. Lemon Oat Layer: Add all lemon oat layer ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir until combined. Divide this mixture evenly between two jars.

2. Raspberry Lemon Yogurt Layer: In a food processor, blend the container of yogurt and the container of raspberries. Pureeing the mixture creates a creamy texture, however you can skip blending and simply dice the raspberries for a chunkier texture.

3. Blueberry Oat Layer: Add all blueberry oat layer ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir until combined. Divide this mixture evenly between two jars.

4. Chill: Refrigerate overnight or up to 5 days before serving. Top with fresh fruit, shredded coconut, and/or nuts.

Sam's Kitchen Favorites

• For this recipe, I used these 16 ounce overnight oat jars with lids.

• I love these silicone mixing spoons. No more scraping the bowl, and the food doesn't stick to them!

• My go-to angled liquid measuring cup . After multiple runs through the dishwasher, the numbers have not worn off.

• For permanently engraved measurements, these measuring cups are fantastic!

• For a more professional yet affordable mixing bowl, these stackable bowls with measurements marks work perfectly.

• Food Processor. I recommend this for quickly turning graham crackers into fine crumbs, chopping nuts, blending ingredients, making sauces, and so much more.

Helpful Tips

• Use fresh fruit. Fresh fruit can help prevent your overnight oats from becoming too liquidy. Frozen fruit releases extra moisture as it thaws, which can thin out the oats.

• Stir well before refrigerating. Make sure the protein powder and chia seeds are fully mixed in so the oats set evenly without any clumps.

• Adjust the consistency. If your oats are thicker than you like after chilling overnight, stir in a splash of milk before serving.

• Meal prep friendly. Store the oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

• Dairy free option.  Omit the yogurt or use Silk yogurt instead. If omitting yogurt, I would add an additional mashed banana to maintain a creamy texture.

• What type of oats are best? I prefer rolled oats. Quick oats may be used, for a softer consistency.

• Avoid using steel-cut oats. They will remain firm and chewy without cooking.
