Notes

Choose sealable jars: I always prefer storing overnight oats in mason jars because they're portable, seal well, and lock in the best flavors.
Use a wide-mouth jar: This makes it easier to add ingredients and stir the mixture, ensuring everything is well combined.
Use quality protein powder: High-quality protein powder almost always tastes better in overnight oats. It's worth splurging on this ingredient a little!
Soak for long enough: Make sure the oats are soaked for at least 4-6 hours. Overnight is ideal for the creamiest texture.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution of the protein powder and chia seeds throughout the oats. It also helps prevent pockets or clumps of unevenly mixed oats.
It's best to add fruit just before serving the overnight oats, especially if you plan to store them in the fridge for longer than one night.
