Mocha Overnight Oats
Overnight Oats are a staple in my home. They are my go-to breakfast most days and my family loves them. Especially any overnight oats that have chocolate in them. They’re pretty popular in this house.
I love them because they are so easy and simple to make. They usually only require a handful of ingredients, and make for a nutrient-dense breakfast. You can also get as fancy with them as you’d like and add more ingredients to make more creative combinations.
These Mocha Overnight Oats are quick and easy to make and you only need a few ingredients. They are so good with such a creamy and chocolaty texture. Just the energy booster you need in the morning or as an afternoon pick-me-up.

How to store overnight oats:
The best containers to use for both making and storing overnight oats in are mason jars. Wide mouth mason jars in particular. These jars have enough space to fill with all the needed ingredients. They come with tight lids so you can shake the oats without worries of them spilling. The oats will stay fresh longer in the fridge with these tightly sealed jars.
Meal Prepping it:
Meal prepping overnight oats for the week ahead is always a great idea. Measure out and mix all the dry ingredients in mason jars. Make as many jars as you’d like ahead of time. At night, add wet ingredients and refrigerate overnight. The next morning add any fruit or favorite toppings. Super easy!
