BLUEBERRY PICK ME UP
- When the oats are ready in the morning, stir the optional sliced banana into the overnight oats mixture.

Notes
Vegan overnight oats - use plant-based milk, yogurt, and protein powder in the recipes. Soy milk and yogurt provide the most protein.
Gluten-free overnight oats- use gluten-free rolled oats.
Healthy overnight oats for weight loss - for lower calories use water instead of milk in the basic recipe. Coconut, nut butter, and seeds are calorie-dense so be mindful of quantities. Use non-fat yogurt for lower calories.
Meal prep - store the overnight oats without toppings in an airtight container in the fridge. Will keep for up to 5 days but 2-3 is more realistic. Otherwise, the oats get really soft.
