    Ok, I’ve got some cut oats and oat milk. How do I go about this overnight oats thing? It just goes in the fridge?

      Yes but that alone will probably not taste too good. A little more effort is worth it. Easy to meal-prep for the whole week too.

      I use this guys base recipe and mess around with toppings. The banana bread and pb&j ones are a favorite.

      This is a copy paste from his video description:
