My Favourite Jars & Containers
The right container makes all the difference for easy, grab-and-go breakfasts.
- 16oz Wide-Mouth Mason Jars – The classic jar for overnight oats that provides the perfect portion size for most recipes.
- Leak-Proof Glass Meal Prep Containers – Great if you prefer wider bowls over jars and a bit more durable, thanks to the silicone sleeves (I’m obsessed with these pretty pastel Ello ones).
- Glass Overnight Oats Jars with Bamboo Lids – Ideal if you want your breakfast to look like something served in a trendy hipster cafe.
Pantry Staples for Perfect Overnight Oats
These are the brands and ingredients I use most often…
- Quaker Rolled Oats – I find this type makes the best overnight oats with just the right amount of texture.
- Protein Powder – Orgain vanilla is my fav, but I also rate Optimum Nutrition and Vega.
- Ground Flaxseed – A great booster for healthy fats like Omega 3s.
- Chia Seeds – Adds creaminess and fibre to your oat bowls.
- Peanut Butter – I prefer pure nut butters without palm oil, like this one by Spread the Love.
