Tips
- Eat overnight oats cold or warm. If you prefer them warm, heat up in the microwave before eating.
- Stir in more milk, unsweetened fortified soy plant-based beverage or water before eating if you prefer a looser consistency.
- Switch it up! Use your favorite seasonal fruit instead of frozen strawberries. In the summer, try peaches, plums, or blueberries.
- Little chefs can help mix ingredients.
