Ingredients to make blueberry crisp overnight oats
Organic old-fashioned rolled oats: Oats are heavily sprayed with glysaphate, so if they’re available to you, I always recommend buying organic when possible.
Blueberries: You can sub any berry!
Coconut yogurt: You can sub greek yogurt. My favorite brands of coconut yogurt are CocoJune and Culina.
Milk: I use homemade cashew milk but any will work.
Nuts/coconut: This is in the crisp. You can use anything you have on hand.
Protein powder: This is optional, but makes the recipe extra filling. You can add in a few tbsp of hemp hearts for added protein if you don’t want to use powder. For protein, i’m obsessed with Truvani. You can use “dani” for a discount!
What if i don’t want to use protein powder
I think it’s really important to get in at least 20g of protein at breakfast, especially when consuming a higher carbohydrate breakfast like oats! This will help keep your blood sugar stable so you stay full all morning long, rather than feeling hungry soon after.
If you don’t want to use protein powder, you can leave it out and add in a few tablespoons of hemp hearts. This is a great way to get in a bunch of quality plant protein and healthy fats. If you leave the protein out, you may want to add in a little extra vanilla or maple syrup, as flavored proteins add flavor and sweetness to the recipe.
