There’s nothing more refreshing than waking up to a bowl of lemon coconut overnight oats, especially in the summer. Overnight oats are convenient during busy mornings, but I love changing up the flavors for variety. It’s hard to go wrong with oats- they’re filling, healthy, and quick. If you’re more of a chocolate person, try my German Chocolate Overnight Oats.
In this recipe you can substitute almond milk and slivered almonds for the coconut. Run out of lemons? Try using fresh orange juice and zest. Drop a note in the comments and let me know which flavor combination you choose!

Notes
* I enjoy the taste of Greek yogurt and prefer my oats less sweet, but I recommend first trying this recipe with 1 tsp of sweetener.
Nutrition is based off of using 2% Greek yogurt and 1 tsp maple syrup.
