Steps

Set out four jars or lidded containers.
In a large bowl, whisk the whole milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla, lemon zest, half of the honey and the salt until smooth.
Stir in the oats and chia seeds until evenly coated in the milk mixture.
In a separate small bowl, lightly mash half of the blueberries with the lemon juice and the remaining half of the honey to make a juicy berry layer.
Spoon a quarter of the berry layer into the bottom of each jar, then divide the oat mixture evenly over the top.
Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight, until the oats are soft and thick.
In the morning, stir each jar gently to swirl the berry layer through the oats, adding a splash of cold water if you like it looser.
Top each jar with a quarter of the remaining whole blueberries and a quarter of the almonds, and serve cold.
