Notes
- TO HEAT: If you prefer warm oatmeal, I'd recommend reheating the overnight oats in the stovetop on low heat. Adding a splash of milk (or as much for desired consistency), stirring occasionally until warm.
- PROTEIN POWDER: If looking to add one serving of protein powder, you may need to add more liquid. Collagen protein won't require additional liquid. And I don't think whey will either. However if you plan to use plant protein, you may need to increase milk another 1/4 cup. You could also add more milk the morning of if mixture is too thick.
- USE WITHIN: Prepped overnight oats best enjoyed within 2-3 days. Feel free to double recipe for 4 large servings.
