Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I store overnight oats?

Overnight oats with protein powder can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. Perfect for Sunday meal prep! Just add toppings fresh each morning.

Can I heat them up?

Yes! Microwave for 1-2 minutes for warm oats. Just stir well after heating as the texture may change slightly.

Why add protein after cooking, not before?

For overnight oats, you add protein directly since they soak cold. No cooking involved, so protein powder mixes in perfectly!
