Avena al limone da preparare la sera prima
Ingredienti
- ½ bicchiere Fiocchi d'avena vecchio stile
- 1 cucchiaio I semi di Chia
- ⅓ bicchiere Latte di cocco - o latte vegetale a piacere
- 2 cucchiai Succo di limone
- ¼ bicchiere Yogurt senza lattosio - abbiamo usato yogurt di cocco
- 2 cucchiaini Scorza di limone
- 1 cucchiaio Dolcificante - maple syrup or sugar-free erythritol
- 1 cucchiaino da tè Estratto di vaniglia
Opzionale
- ½ bicchiere Blueberry - fresco o scongelato
Top Lemon layer
- 1 cucchiaio White Chocolate Protein Powder - or vanilla or lemon flavored
- 2 cucchiai Yogurt senza lattosio
- 1 cucchiaio Succo di limone
Toppings – optional
- 1 cucchiaino da tè Noce di cocco essiccata
- 1 cucchiai Blueberry
- 1 Vegan Almond Shortbread Cookies - sbriciolato
Istruzioni
- In a medium airtight container or glass mason jar, add all the ingredients in the order you like: oats, chia seeds, lemon zest, lemon juice, coconut milk, coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, sweetener, and eventually blueberries if you like.
- Stir well to combine, it should be runny not overly thick.
- Close the lid of the container, and place it in the fridge overnight, or for at least 3 hours. I recommend stirring after 1 hour to prevent the seeds from sinking to the bottom of the container
Topping – The next day, or before refrigerating
- Stir all the topping ingredients together. Add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut milk or more yogurt if too thick to your liking. Spread on top of the overnight oats the day before or just before serving.
- Serve with extra lemon zest, desiccated coconut, blueberries, and crumbled shortbread cookies.
Archiviazione
- Store for up to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container or in 8-ounce glass mason jars. Freeze in airtight jars and thaw in the fridge the day before.

How To Make Lemon Overnight Oats
Come molti ricette con avena notturna, it’s pretty simple to make this healthy oatmeal breakfast and meal prep 4 days of nourishing breakfast.
To make delicious overnight oats, it’s better to use a large glass container so the ingredients blend well together and it prevents the chia seeds from forming packets or lumps in the mix.

- Place all the ingredients in a glass container: oats, chia seeds, lemon juice, almond milk, lemon zest, vanilla extract, sweetener, and yogurt.
- Stir with a spoon until everything is well mixed together. It should be runny slightly creamy but not thick.
- In fact, overnight oats get their creamy texture after spending at least 3 hours in the fridge so be patient.
- Close the recipient with a lid and pop it in the fridge for 3 hours or refrigerate overnight.
Strato superiore
This is totally optional, and you can add the top layer just before serving if you don’t feel like adding it on top of the overnight oats the day before.
- Protein pudding – I used white chocolate berry protein pudding or lemon protein powder, choose your favorite flavor.
- latte di cocco
- Yogurt of choice – I enjoy coconut yogurt with lemon but any yogurt works well.
- Succo di limone
Stir all the topping ingredients together into a bowl and spread on top of the overnight oats the day before or just before serving
Servire
To serve this lemon blueberry overnight oats I recommend adding:

Lemon Blueberry Overnight Oats Option
I do believe that lemon and blueberries are made to be together! Even better, lemon poppyseed and blueberry! So to boost the flavors of this simple overnight oats recipe try to stir in, before setting it in the fridge overnight, the ingredients below:
- 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries, or thawed blueberries
- 1-2 tablespoons of poppy seeds
Serve the next day with extra blueberries on top.
Istruzioni per la conservazione
This lemon overnight oats recipe can be stored very well in the fridge in an airtight container for about 4 days. You can freeze the leftovers and thaw them in the refrigerator the day before serving.

Domande frequenti
Oats are not naturally gluten-free but you can find some gluten-free certified brands if needed. Otherwise, soaked quinoa flakes work well as a 100% gluten-free swap.
Note that quinoa flakes are slightly bitter so you may have to add more sweetener to cover them.
You can use high-protein yogurt and protein-fortified milk to enhance the protein profile of the recipe. Some protein-fortified almond milk contains up to 10 grams of protein per cup for example.
Another option is to add protein powder to the recipe, you can add unflavored protein powder to avoid covering the delicious natural lemon flavor of this recipe.
Note that adding protein powder thickened the recipe and you will have to add some almond milk to balance the texture.

I made this and it’s divine! I made it with lemon yogurt added ginger and cinnamon. I also used Trader Joe’s Rolled Oats with chia and other seeds then added pecans for topping the next day! So delicious with the blueberries!!!! Next time I will also add plant protein! Thank you for this scrumptious and healthy recipe!
Thanks for trying my recipe and sharing your ideas on how to make it even better. The pecan and ginger sounds amazing!
Hi
How does adding lemon juice not curdle the milk?
That’s a good question. It doesn’t. I’m not sure precisely why, but there are a few things happening in overnight oats that must contribute.
My husband and I loved this and so did our 10 month old! My husband said it reminded him of a Danish dessert called Citronfromage and asked that I make it multiple times a week, haha!
Grazie mille <3
Grazie !!!
Made this last night for today and it was delicious! Tasted like cheesecake. Thank you!
Ohhhh man, do I LOVE this! It’s like eating just the lemon layer of a lemon meringue pie.
I haven’t even made the top layer, because I personally don’t need it, but one day I will give it a go.
It’s a small serving, but that is probably for the best because I could eat a lot of it! Thanks so much!
This is so good! My first few batches I made without chia seeds, still amazing! Super versatile with the yogurt, I use a vanilla one. My toddler loves it too, a simple way to get good protein, fruit and carbs. It’s a weekly go to for us!
