Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
- 1/4 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Toppings (Optional):
- Crushed graham crackers or granola
- Fresh berries (e.g., blueberries or raspberries)

Instructions
- Mix the Base Ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Combine with Oats:
- Stir in the oats and milk until everything is well combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight:
- Transfer the mixture to a mason jar or airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
- Serve:

- Top with crushed graham crackers, fresh berries, or additional lemon zest for garnish.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt, plant-based cream cheese, and your favorite non-dairy milk.
- Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for an extra protein boost.
- Adjust the sweetness based on your preference by adding more honey or maple syrup.
