Tips & Tricks (5)

Liquid Ratio Magic 💧
Maintain a 1:1 ratio of liquid to oats, using a combination of milk and kefir for optimal creaminess and probiotic benefits.
Date Sweet Hack 🍯
Finely chop or blend the Medjool date before mixing to ensure even sweetness distribution throughout the overnight oats.
Layering Technique 🥣
Create beautiful visual layers by adding chia seeds between fruit and yogurt, allowing each ingredient to shine and prevent sogginess.
Berry Preservation Trick 🫐
Add fresh berries just before serving to maintain their texture and prevent them from becoming mushy during overnight refrigeration.
Texture Optimization 🥄
Let the overnight oats sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before eating to soften the oats and improve overall mouthfeel.
