FAQ
Mason jars are one of the most popular containers for overnight oats, but they're certainly not the only option. Many people like these jars because they're inexpensive, but there are plenty of other containers that work just as well, including all of the products I've recommended above.
We recommend storing overnight oats in the refrigerator in airtight containers for up to five days. That means if you're meal-prepping on Sunday, you can make a work week's worth of overnight oats and not have to think about breakfast again until Saturday.

Portion Size. Try starting with around 1:1 oat to liquid ratio, a small mug is a good measurement to start with. Don't worry if it looks too watery at first, your oats will absorb most of that excess when left to chill in the fridge overnight.
Soaking helps the starches break down and reduces the natural phytic acid, which may help your body utilize the oats' nutrients much more efficiently. Overnight oats are healthier for your gut.
