Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Old fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup low fat cottage cheese blended (see note) or light Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese for a light flavor, or 1 ½ tablespoon for a cheesier flavor
  • 2 teaspoon honey or 3 teaspoon for a sweetener flavor
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • ⅛ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ cup almond milk
  • ¼ cup frozen blueberries, defrosted

Instructions
 

  • Blend the cottage cheese in a blender cup or with an immersion blended with 1 tablespoon of the milk to get a Greek yogurt like consistency. This is optional but at least breaking up the chunks will help to give the oats a creamier consistency.
  • In a small bowl or mason jar combine the rolled oats, milk, blended cottage cheese, softened cream cheese, sweetener, and lemon zest.
  • Microwave the frozen blueberries until defrosted and a little syrupy but not hot. Mash them with a fork.
  • Add the berries to the top of oats and let them set in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Top with your favorite garnishes the morning of like fresh berries, light whipped cream, or crushed graham crackers. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To soften cream cheese, just microwave it as needed for 10+ seconds so it mixes in smoothly.
  • Blending the cottage cheese in advance isn't essential, but it will help your oats to have a creamier texture. 
  • Low fat Greek yogurt is a great substitute for cottage cheese, it does have more of a tangy bite so you might need to adjust the sweetness level. 
  • You can add the mashed defrosted berries to the bottom of your jars before you add the oats mix if preferred. Then add garnishes the morning of. 
  • To add chia seeds: mix in 1 ½ teaspoon of chia for each jar. They will thicken your oats mix, so add more liquid as needed the next morning. 
  • To reduce the carbs: use a natural golden monk fruit sweetener instead of honey, make oats with ⅓ cup of rolled oats instead of ½ cup (and reduce the liquid accordingly.)
  • This recipe makes one serving, meal prep as many jars for the week as you prefer! They'll keep for 5 days in the fridge.
