Mason Jar Overnight Oatmeal is basically as easy and delicious as healthy breakfast gets!
It takes about 5 minutes to prep 4 days worth of breakfast and it is just waiting for you in the morning in all of it’s perfect glory.
The key is using a good protein powder to sweeten your oatmeal instead of sugar.
The Right Mason Jars for Overnight Oats
When making overnight oats in mason jars, you want to use 16oz mason jars.
These are perfect because they leave just enough space for you to add toppings in the morning (fruit, nuts, dark chocolate, etc) without it overflowing.
Because overflowing overnight oats may be gorgeous on Pinterest, but they’re not so gorgeous all over your table.
16oz mason jars are not so small that you will run out of space like the 8 oz jars, but not so big that they’ll be empty and taking up valuable space in your fridge like the quart sized jars.
These 16oz mason jars fit the perfect, healthy, single serving of overnight oats.
