Ive recently started prepping overnight oats in one big jar for the week, and it’s been one of those why didn’t I think of this sooner changes. The idea of prepping in multiple small containers for daily use was the thing that KEPT me from prepping this meal. I don’t know why, but it did.

What are your favorite tiny meal-prep shifts that saved time, dishes, or mental energy once you stopped doing things “the standard way” or the way it’s often shown done?

    I was a true hater of overnight oats until about a month ago. I now eat em every day 😅

    It’s funny how we’re all different. I’ve made overnight oats in big containers because that’s all I currently have, but have failed to eat it because of the extra time/effort/dishes of transferring some to a serving dish (but really, because of adhd). I hadn’t really thought of why until now. This post has actually inspired me to get some smaller invidual containers 😆

    I thought this was a “is this mold?” Post 🤮

    I don’t know when overnight oats/chia did me dirty, but I can’t get on that bandwagon especially looking at something like this.
