<p style="font-weight: 400;">The simplicity of overnight oats makes them a great easy breakfast or snack options. <!--more--> These are packed full of protein and fiber to help keep you full. I make these two at time because I buy individual bottles of chocolate banana almond milk, vanilla almond milk and cow milk. I find buying these smaller containers keeps me from wasting it. The half gallons of almond milk are recommended to be consumed within 7 days after opening and I prefer variety in my week which is also why I always have <a href="https://loveforthyself.com/freezer-breakfast-sandwich/">Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches</a> ready to go.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The ratio is 1:1—you can substitute the flavors based on your favorite toppings.  These are easy to make ahead and ensure you have a healthy breakfast to grab. These do need to be refrigerated for at least 2 hours so the oats can soak up the milk but can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. I make mine Sunday evening and normally eat them Monday &amp; Wednesday morning after weight lifting.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You can use <a href="https://amzn.to/3wlhcc1">old fashioned oats</a> or minute oats as these are thinner and will absorb the cold milk. I do not recommend using steel cut oats as these do not soak up the milk and will still be hard. If you add <a href="https://amzn.to/42JRSsz">chia seeds</a> add another ¼ cup of milk. This will ensue there is enough liquid for both the oats and <a href="https://amzn.to/42JRSsz">chia seeds</a> to absorb.</p>
