Ingredient Notes For Blueberry Banana Overnight Oats

Blueberries bring fresh, juicy bursts of flavor and a boost of antioxidants. I like to use frozen as they will thaw overnight and won’t get mushy like fresh blueberries can. Blueberries contain high levels of antioxidants, which help fight inflammation and oxidative stress.

Bananas contain potassium to support heart health and muscle function while adding natural sweetness and creaminess. Use ripe bananas for the best flavor.

Rolled Oats soften overnight in plant-based milk, creating a creamy texture without cooking. They are rich in rich in soluble fiber, which helps lower cholesterol and supports steady blood sugar levels.

Yogurt adds creaminess and boosts protein content, supporting muscle repair and fullness. You can use Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurts.

Plant-based Milk offers a variety of options like almond, oat, soy, and coconut, each with different nutrient profiles. Choose the one you like the best.

Chia Seeds are tiny seeds that absorb liquid, creating a pudding-like texture and adding thickness to overnight oats. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain and heart health and are high in plant-based protein and fiber.

Preparation and Serving Notes

Make-Ahead Ease – Combine all ingredients in a jar or airtight container the night before, stir well, and refrigerate. By morning, the oats will be soft, creamy, and ready to enjoy.

Best Texture – Rolled oats and chia seeds work together to create a hearty, pudding-like consistency. If you prefer looser oats, add a splash more milk before serving.

Sweetness Balance – Ripe bananas often provide enough natural sweetness. Taste before adding maple syrup or honey, and adjust based on preference.

Toppings & Variations – Boost nutrition and flavor with toppings like pumpkin seeds for crunch, a dollop of nut butter for healthy fats, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for added texture.

Storage – Overnight oats keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days, though the banana flavor is freshest on the first day.
