Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our recipes.
Are overnight oats healthier than cooked oatmeal?
Both are healthy options, but overnight oats may be easier to digest and retain slightly more nutrients since they're not heated. They're equally rich in fiber and protein, making them an excellent healthy breakfast choice.
How long do overnight oats last in the refrigerator?
Properly stored overnight oats can last up to 5 days in the refrigerator, making them perfect for healthy meal prep. For best taste and texture, consume within 2-3 days.
What's the best liquid ratio for overnight oats?
The ideal ratio is 1:1 oats to liquid (milk or plant-based alternative) for a creamy consistency. Add more liquid if you prefer a thinner texture, and include yogurt for extra protein and creaminess.
