Lime and Mint Overnight Oats

Recipe from Julia Maiten

Adapted and tested in Alice’s Kitchen

Makes 2 servings

What a refreshing, summery breakfast this makes!  One of my absolute favorite overnight oats recipes comes from Julia Maiten.  It’s Orange Spiced Overnight Oats.  I make it all the time.  This is basically the same recipe, but instead of oranges and the spices, this one uses fresh lime juice and zest plus the addition of fresh mint. You can top this one off with your favorite fruits and berries.  I had some ripe plums ready to go plus some grapes.  This was a delicious breakfast.

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats

½ cup quick cooking oats

2 Tablespoons chia seeds

Zest from 1 lime

Juice from 1 lime

1½ cups soy milk

½ cup thick soy yogurt (I used Cocojune Coconut Yogurt, but I also like Homemade Instant Pot Cashew Yogurt.)

pinch of salt 

2-3 Tablespoons maple syrup 

Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and stir well.  Chill in the fridge overnight.  In the morning, scoop out a portion and add the toppings.

Optional Toppings: fresh mint, blueberries, flakey salt

Other Toppings: tahini, grapes and fresh mint
