Notes
*overnight oats will store in the fridge in airtight containers for up to 5 days.
*to substitute protein powder, simply replace with an additional 2 tablespoon of oats!
To make a larger batch of oats (more suitable for a big meal prep) I recommend doubling, tripling, quadrupling etc. the ingredients for the entire recipe and then making a large batch of each -oat mixture, yogurt mixture and apples as directed before diving amongst the jars (there will be about ¾ cup of oat mixture and ¼ cup of yogurt mixture in each jar)!
