Lemon Blueberry Overnight Oats

The pairing of lemon and blueberry is definitely one of my very favorites.  We used the pairing at our wedding, and it always makes me think of my charming hubby; he loves blueberries and I love lemon, and they both work so well together!

The overnight oats are flavored with lemon juice and lemon zest, then in the morning, it is layered with blueberries (fresh or thawed).  So tasty!  It is light and refreshing and a perfect way to start the day.
