Storage:
If you are in the habit of making meals for yourself several days in advance, you’ll be happy to hear that these protein overnight oats can be safely stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Any longer than that, however, and you’ll run the risk of them going bad.
Whether you’re meal-prepping in advance or making a quick snack for later in the day, keep in mind that the longer your oats sit in the fridge, the more soft they will be, so if you’d like your oats to be chewier, don’t let them sit for longer than one night ... even a few hours may be sufficient.
Once you’ve taken them out of the fridge, they can be eaten cold, or you can pop them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds to enjoy them warm.
