It’s not just the chilled, creamy, deliciousness that comes from this way of enjoying oatmeal in the warmer months. Oh no...There are amazing benefits too!
Here are a few reasons why you’ll love overnight oats:

How to make overnight oats
- Place oatmeal in your jar or container of choice.
- Add your liquid of choice. We LOVE an unsweetened, vanilla oat mylk and mix well.
- Option to add toppings of choice before placing a lid on your jar or container.
- Store in the fridge overnight (to obtain all nutritional benefits, we recommend 12 hours but oatmeal is just as creamy and delicious after a minimum of 4 hours).
- Come morning, grab, go and enjoy!
It’s THAT easy!
