- ½ cup (75 grams) fresh or frozen blueberries (plus extra for topping)

Instructions
- In a spacious mason jar or sealed container, whisk together rolled oats, creamy Greek yogurt, plump blueberries, nutrient-rich chia seeds, golden honey, aromatic vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until thoroughly integrated.
- Seal the container tightly and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 6-8 hours, allowing the ingredients to meld and the oats to gently absorb the liquid, creating a luxurious, creamy texture.
- Upon awakening, gently stir the chilled mixture, adjusting the consistency with a touch of additional milk if needed to achieve the perfect, smooth texture.
- Transform your overnight oats into a vibrant morning feast by garnishing with a cascade of fresh, juicy blueberries, a sprinkle of crunchy sliced almonds, and an elegant drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
- Customize the milk type to suit dietary needs, like almond milk for dairy-free or oat milk for a creamier texture.
- Prep multiple jars in advance for a week of quick, nutritious breakfasts that save time during busy mornings.
- Swap fresh blueberries with frozen ones or try other seasonal berries to keep the recipe versatile and exciting.
