			Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (any preferred type)

- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or sealable container, thoroughly mix the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, lemon zest, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquids and flavors, softening to a creamy consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: In the morning or when ready to eat, give the oats a gentle stir. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of extra lemon zest for added freshness and presentation. Enjoy chilled.
 
	 
	
		Notes
		
			
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk to make it dairy-free, though cream cheese will add some dairy flavor unless using a vegan substitute.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste preferences.
- For a thicker texture, use Greek yogurt with higher fat content or add a teaspoon of chia seeds to the mixture.
- To increase protein content, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
