Sesame Ginger Blueberry Overnight Oats

Here is another overnight oat recipe. This one is creamier and richer tasting then the ones I've made before. It also has a healthy dose of ginger, which makes it a little spicy and warming. The addition of tahini is what made this batch so creamy, but it also made it a little tougher to blend up easily. Be patient and give frequent stirs and scrape-downs while you're blending.

Sesame Ginger Blueberry Overnight Oats
makes 4 jars
2 1/2 cups almond milk (or milk of choice)
2 bananas
Juice and zest of one orange
Juice of one lime
A 2 inch piece of fresh ginger, cut into pieces (no need to peel)
6 Tbs chia seeds
1-2 Tbs tahini (I used 2, and it came out a little too rich for me)
2 cups blueberries (frozen is fine)
2 cups rolled oats
toasted sesame seeds for topping (optional)
Combine first 7 ingredients and blend until smooth. (You may need to do some scraping to get the tahini well-blended). Add blueberries and blend until well-combined. Divide oats between four jars and top evenly with smoothie mixture. Stir each jar well and cover and refrigerate overnight. Top with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
