Blueberry Kefir Oat Breakfast Jars
Rolled oats, kefir, Greek yogurt, blueberries, chia, and almonds make a tangy make-ahead breakfast with protein, fiber, and crunch.
Fiber-forward breakfasts work best when they still taste like breakfast, not a supplement routine.
Kefir gives these oat jars tang and a pourable texture, while Greek yogurt and chia make them satisfying.
Blueberries and almonds keep the jars from feeling one-note.
The berries soften overnight, and the almonds add crunch right before serving.
Stir the jars once after the first few minutes if you can.
That helps the chia hydrate evenly and keeps the oats from clumping at the bottom.
For something else to cook in the same spirit, try Overnight Oats with Berry Chia Jam or Green Goddess Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls.
