Make mornings easier!

Peanut butter and yogurt, overnight oats jars are as simple as it gets - there’s no fancy method or cooking required! All you need are a few basic ingredients and they take minutes to prepare. The ingredients are highly interchangeable, so you can enjoy them gluten free or vegan. You could even swap out peanut butter for almond butter

Oats and chia seeds absorb lots of liquid and together they are the perfect ingredients for sponging up homemade yogurt or probiotic liquid. If you have excess whey or coconut water in your homemade yogurt, this recipe is ideal. Visit our yogurt basics page for a list of dairy and dairy-free yogurt recipe. 

Play around with the formula as needed, add more milk, whey or fermented coconut water for wetter oats, more chia seeds for a thicker texture, or more yogurt for extra creaminess. You really can’t go wrong.
