Get ready for the ultimate healthy breakfast recipe that's going to change your life! Wholesome, filling oats mixed with tangy Greek yogurt, topped with rich, creamy lemon curd and tart, fruity raspberries. Seriously, these lemon raspberry overnight oats taste so good you'll think you're eating dessert, not a nutritious breakfast!

I love chocolate. Even for breakfast. And while I eat chocolate chip cookie dough overnight oats and black forest overnight oatsall the time, my tastes totally change around summer. As soon as it's beach season, my love of chocolate almost dwindles to nothing and is replaced by an obsession for everything tangy, citrus-y and zesty.

Which is what these lemon raspberry overnight oats are all about. Sure the oatmeal base is pure comfort food, but it's chilled overnight. So you don't feel like you're digging into a great big bowl of winter-perfect oatmeal that's going to leave to feeling stuffed all morning. Instead, your savoring a delicate medley of cool and creamy oats, ripe tangy raspberries and velvet-smooth lemon curd.

So even if you're a 100% dedicated chocolate lover, you're still going to fall head over tails for these lemon raspberry overnight oats.I don't actually have any first-hand experience of non-chocolate-lovers. But just like there are people out there who don't love avocado, there are probably also people out there who would choose peanut butter over Nutella. Potato chips over a chocolate bar. And coffee over hot chocolate. If you fall into that category, today's recipe is dedicated to you.

Loaded with fruity flavours, wholesome ingredients and gorgeous textures, these lemon raspberry overnight oats are perfect for anyone who wants a sweet treat in the morning but can't stomach chocolate at that early time of day.

This sounds delicious! I'm afraid I am one of those fruit (and peanut butter) over chocolate people most of the time so this is right up my street!

  Thanks so much, Alayna! It really is the perfect back to school breakfast - all the prep is done the night before so you just need to open and eat it in the morning!

I love both chocolate and fruit, but if I had to choose, I'd go fruity, these overnight oats sound fantastic! Thanks for sharing at What'd You Do This Weekend?!

The lemon raspberry oats may be my favorite breakfast ever. I tried several fridge oats recipes and this one was the best- because not only was it this heavenly cold dessert, it required zero morning prep, and it kept me full all the way to lunch! This is going to be a staple in my house. Thank you!

Would it be alright to use blueberries instead of raspberries?
