Notes
- Use any type of milk you prefer, such as almond, soy, or cow’s milk, based on dietary needs.
- Adjust the sweetness according to taste by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup, or omit it for a less sweet version.
- Adding chia seeds boosts fiber and omega-3 content while helping to thicken the oats.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it great for meal prep.
- Feel free to substitute pistachios with other nuts like almonds or walnuts if preferred or for variety.
