Overnight Oats

 A variety of overnight oat recipes

Have on hand

• Seven or so 15 or 16oz wide mouth jars with a lid. Tostitos salsa/queso jars work well for me.
• 64oz of milk (cow, oat, almond, coconut, rice, soy, whatever you like) OR water 
• 42oz Canister of rolled (Old Fashioned) oats 
• 12oz bag of chia seeds, flax seeds, or hemp hearts. I like chia because of their thickening properties.
