  1. I am trying this tomorrow! My question is, how long can they stay in the fridge? I would like to make more than 1 at a time, but wasn’t sure how good it would stay for more than a day?

  25. I do this all the time. I’m in the military as a medic and don’t always have time to get breakfast, especially when I’m doing medical coverage. I’m also a breastfeeding mother, so this helps my supply and gives me something nutritious to eat on the go.

And eat them right out of the jar with a spoon. Stir if you want to. I actually use BPA free plastic containers instead of jars.

  69. I told u long ago to stop name calling and I only use words that you use against me to prove point. Like I said Im different in person and I can be a gentleman. That is what I deserve a chance to prove myself. But you just have stubborn control issues that I cant deal with.

  73. Well at this point t it doesn’t matter. I am so not worried about it. I personally think Americans are super paranoid. Our grandparents have lived into their 80’s and 90’s on totally unregulated food, chemicals and they smoked. I think I will live.

  76. So are these quick-cook oats, rolled oats…etc.? I would like to try this, but don’t particularly know what kind of oats I should purchase. Thank you for your time!

  86. Chop up an apple, an orange, a banana. Put them in a bowl with a vanilla yogurt cup, a splash of orange juice and a cup of oatmeal. Stir and cover the bowl. Then put in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning you have what my sons used to call “barf”. It’s a good healthy breakfast.

  104. Old fashioned oats. I heard quick cook oats comes out gluey. I like to use steel cut oats and microwave it for 3-4 min then put the lid on my mason jar and put it in the fridge for in the morning. But I only cook steel cut oats not the old fashion oats.
