# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Five minutes of evening prep buys you back precious morning sleep time
  • The combination of Greek yogurt and chia seeds keeps you full straight through until lunch
  • Pistachios transform basic overnight oats into something that feels legitimately fancy
02 -
  • Steel-cut oats will never soften properly in this no-cook method, so stick with rolled oats for the right texture
  • Chia seeds can clump together if you dump them all in one spot, so whisk them into the milk first before adding the other ingredients
  • The oats will continue to thicken the longer they sit, so if you prefer them thinner, stir in a splash of milk right before eating
03 -
  • Buy shelled pistachios in bulk from the baking aisle instead of the snack section to save money
  • Mason jars with wide mouths are easier to clean and let you stir everything properly without making a mess
