Instructions

Place oats, chia seeds, and salt in a mixing bowl (love this blue ribbed one that comes with a lid!). Whisk to combine.
Add milk and yogurt, then whisk until smooth. Add maple syrup, lemon juice and zest (rinse lemon well, zest first, then juice), and vanilla. Whisk again.
Stir in frozen blueberries. You can use fresh but they won't have that pretty purple color! Portion into 4 containers and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Serve chilled! You can top with coconut, crushed graham crackers, etc. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days.
