Equipment

1 mason jar or bowl

Ingredients

½ cup whole oats
5.3 oz vanilla Greek yogurt or skyr *go with Oikos Triple Zero vanilla yogurt for a sugar-free, low-calorie,high-protein, option
2 tablespoon whipped cream cheese in the tub
½ cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
1 tablespoon chia seeds
10 g collagen peptides *optional, but you'll never know it's in there and adds a small protein boost
½ teaspoon fresh lemon zest
½ cup fresh blueberries
real maple syrup for drizzling on top (or go with your favorite sugar-free maple syrup)

Instructions

To a mason jar or deep bowl add: oats, yogurt, cream cheese, milk, chia seeds, collagen peptides (if using), and lemon zest.
Stir very well to mix thoroughly.
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Top with fresh blueberries, a drizzle of maple syrup, and extra lemon zest, if desired.

Notes

*If using Oikos Triple Zero vanilla yogurt the macros for one large serving would be: 461 calories; 33 grams protein; 15 grams fat; 53 grams carbs; 13 grams sugar; and 10 grams of fiber. You can always divide the portion into two small servings and pair with another protein source to accommodate your nutritional needs.

More Tips:

Add protein powder. I used collagen peptides, but adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder is an easy way to boost the protein content and give the oats a more custardy cheesecake-like flavor.

Use soft cream cheese. Whipped cream cheese in a tub works best. You can use regular cream cheese, but blending it with the other ingredients isn’t as easy. To make it less strenuous, let it sit on the counter or pop it in the microwave until softened.

Layer in graham cracker crumbs: For a texture true to traditional cheesecake, try mixing in some crushed graham cracker crumbs before refrigerating the oats.

Let the oats soak overnight. At a minimum, the oats must be soaked for 2 hours, but allowing them to soak overnight gives them ample time to absorb the flavors and become extra creamy and delicious.
