Notes

Substitutions: Swap blueberries for blackberries or a mixed berry blend. Use orange zest and juice instead of lemon for a softer citrus flavor.

Storage: Store covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. Blueberries hold their shape well, making this a great prep-ahead option.

Make-ahead: This is an ideal post-workout snack — prep 3 jars on Sunday for easy grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week. Add granola just before eating for crunch.
