How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats

Blueberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats are full of nutritious ingredients including old-fashioned oats, blueberries, blueberry Greek yogurt, milk, lemon juice and zest, cream cheese, vanilla and chia seeds. If you want an extra boost of protein, you can add in a scoop of collagen peptides protein powder which has no flavor but feel free to skip it if you aren’t a fan of protein powder. Or use vanilla protein powder. Also, you can use plain Greek yogurt or vanilla instead of blueberry.

I like to mix my overnight oats in a large bowl and then transfer them to mason jars since I like to make more than 1 jar at a time. I made a little blueberry sauce for this recipe but feel free just to add frozen blueberries instead and they will bleed some of their juices and color and be delicious! I didn’t add any sweetener to these overnight oats but if you like them sweeter, feel free to add some honey or maple syrup.

A great tool for baking or making overnight oats is a food scale. The Taylor Eco-Friendly Bamboo Kitchen Scale is amazing for accurately measuring out ingredients for these overnight oats. I also love it for measuring flour because sometimes flour can get packed down when measuring it and it is easy to add way more than you need which can mess up your recipe. This one has a durable bamboo surface with a golden finish. It is very easy to clean and wipe down after use.

Using a kitchen scale makes cleanup a breeze because you can measure everything in one bowl instead of getting multiple measuring cups out. You just zero out the scale each time when adding ingredients to the bowl. With this Taylor scale, you can weigh up to 230 ounces of liquids.

Blueberry Overnight Oats Nutrition

Oats are rich in fiber and can help lower cholesterol levels. My husband has high cholesterol (genetic) and eats oatmeal 5 days a week to help. Blueberries are rich in antioxidant vitamin C, fiber and vitamin K.

During the cold winter months, it is a great idea to load up on vitamin C to help keep your immune system strong and to help avoid getting a cold. These blueberry cheesecake overnight oats are also rich in protein from the milk and Greek yogurt.

How to Meal Prep Overnight Oats

You can make one day’s worth of these Blueberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats at a time or you can even make a week’s worth at a time. Feel free to do what works best for you. If I was making several day’s worth of overnight oats at a time, I would make a couple of one flavor and a couple of another flavor just for variety!
